Convert Byte Array into String

In the OTN forums, someone recently asked how to convert a byte array into a String. Assuming the byte array contains characters, not binary data, you can convert a binary array into a string by using the Java String byte array constructor. Here is a short example:

REM ** Create an array of bytes for testing purposes;
Local JavaObject &input = CreateJavaObject("java.lang.String", "A test string.");
Local JavaObject &bytes = &input.getBytes();

REM Convert the bytes back into a String;
Local JavaObject &output = CreateJavaObject("java.lang.String", &bytes);

MessageBox(0, "", 0, 0, &output.toString());
