Question Is there way to read string from NativeArray or NativeSlice?

I use UnityWebRequest to download a NativeArray<byte>, and use in in Jobsytem, is there way to read string from NativeArray<byte>?

Code (CSharp):

1.  
2. [ReadOnly]
3. public NativeArray<byte> SrcBytes;
4.  
5.  
6. byte srcNameLen = SrcBytes.Slice ( offset, 1 ).SliceConvert<byte> ()[ 0 ];
7. offset += 1;
8. NativeSlice<byte> srcName = SrcBytes.Slice ( offset, srcNameLen ).SliceConvert<byte> ();
9. offset += srcNameLen;
10.  

the scrName is about the string , how to convert to string in mainthread?

NativeArray has a ToArray() method.

 

Ok, but i found in job system that don't allow managed types, so how do i return string to main thread?

 

You run the Job from the main thread. I suppose that's where you also pass in the NativeArray (or Slice). So after the job is complete, you'd get the job.srcName (assuming it's a public field or property) and use that.

 

thanks reply,
I didn't know how long it was until I read it, so how to delcare the variable srcname in job ?

 

It sounds like what you really want is FixedStringXBytes from the Collections package.

 

ok, thanks a lot, i'll check this out
