[?] Convert to Byte... Then Read Stuff by Spunky on 09-30-2008 at 11:57 PM
I'm gonna be lazy for once (nah, I have actually tried hard for this 
)... I'm getting header information posted to me from a server and I need to take the first 48 characters, send them to a datablock object and then be able to read information from them.
I still can't quite get the hang of this datablock business so I've attached a file with a few examples of what I want (All whitespace on a line needs to be included)... If somebody could write me a nice function it'd be awesome.

What exactly do you have in mind?
code:
var MyDataBlock = Interop.Allocate(98); // String size is 48. Add NULL character: 1, makes 49. Unicode, so multiply by 2, makes 98.
MyDataBlock.writeSTRING(0 /* offset */,myString.substr(0,48) /* header */ );
