BBjString::getBytes

Description

In BBj 7.0 and higher, this method encodes this String into a sequence of bytes using the platform's default charset, storing the result into a new byte array. The behavior of this method when this string cannot be encoded in the default charset is unspecified.

Syntax

Return Value	Method
byte[]	getBytes()
void	getBytes(int `srcBegin`, int `srcEnd`, byte[] `dst`, int `dstBegin`)
byte[]	getBytes(string `charsetName`)

Parameters

Variable	Description
srcBegin	Index of the first character in the string to copy.
srcEnd	Index after the last character in the string to copy.
dst	The destination array.
dstBegin	The start offset in the destination array.
charsetName	The name of the supported charset.

Return Value

Returns the resultant byte array.

Remarks

None.
