String.getBytes

String.getBytes

Class Overview | Class Members | This Package | All Packages

Syntax 1
public void getBytes( int srcBegin, int srcEnd, byte dst[], int dstBegin )
Parameters
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.
Description
Note: getBytes() is deprecated. This method does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to do this is via the getBytes(String enc) method, which takes a character-encoding name, or the getBytes() method, which uses the platform's default encoding.

Copies characters from this string into the destination byte array. Each byte receives the 8 low-order bits of the corresponding character.

The first character to be copied is at index srcBegin; the last character to be copied is at index srcEnd-1. The total number of characters to be copied is srcEnd-srcBegin. The characters, converted to bytes, are copied into the subarray of dst starting at index dstBegin and ending at index: 

     dstbegin + (srcEnd-srcBegin) - 1

Exceptions
StringIndexOutOfBoundsException if srcBegin or srcEnd is out of range, or if srcBegin is greater than srcEnd.



Syntax 2
public byte[] getBytes( String enc ) throws UnsupportedEncodingException
Parameters
enc
A character-encoding name
Returns
The resultant byte array
Description
Convert this String into bytes according to the specified character encoding, storing the result into a new byte array.

Exceptions
UnsupportedEncodingException If the named encoding is not supported



Syntax 3
public byte[] getBytes()
Returns
the resultant byte array.
Description
Convert this String into bytes according to the platform's default character encoding, storing the result into a new byte array.
