I have an array of UInt8
characters that I want to be combined into one cohesive String
. I know String
has the .utf8
property, and running a for loop over those characters was how I made the UInt8
array, but now I need the reverse of this.
For example, the UInt8
array:
[83, 87, 73, 70, 84]
and the desired end result:
"SWIFT"
You can simply use String bytes initializer:
init?<S>(
bytes: S,
encoding: String.Encoding
) where S : Sequence, S.Element == UInt8
Initializer
init(bytes:encoding:)
Creates a new string equivalent to the given bytes interpreted in >the specified encoding.
String(bytes: [83, 87, 73, 70, 84], encoding: .utf8) // "SWIFT"
