Method Detail

getBytes

public static byte[] getBytes(java.lang.String s)
Deprecated.  

Gets the bytes of the specified string. This will simply return the ASCII values of the characters in the string
Parameters:
s - the string to convert into bytes
Returns:
the ASCII values of the characters in the string

getUnicodeBytes

public static byte[] getUnicodeBytes(java.lang.String s)
Converts the string into a little-endian array of Unicode bytes
Parameters:
s - the string to convert
Returns:
the unicode values of the characters in the string

getBytes

public static void getBytes(java.lang.String s,
                            byte[] d,
                            int pos)
Gets the ASCII bytes from the specified string and places them in the array at the specified position
Parameters:
pos - the position at which to place the converted data
s - the string to convert
d - the byte array which will contain the converted string data

getUnicodeBytes

public static void getUnicodeBytes(java.lang.String s,
                                   byte[] d,
                                   int pos)
Inserts the unicode byte representation of the specified string into the array passed in
Parameters:
pos - the position at which to insert the converted data
s - the string to convert
d - the byte array which will hold the string data

getString

public static java.lang.String getString(byte[] d,
                                         int length,
                                         int pos)
Deprecated. use the overload which takes the character encoding into account

Gets a string from the data array
Parameters:
pos - The start position of the string
length - The number of characters in the string
d - The byte data
Returns:
the string built up from the raw bytes
