Let’s suppose I have just used a BufferedInputStream
to read the bytes of a UTF-8 encoded text file into a byte array. I know that I can use the following routine to convert the bytes to a string, but is there a more efficient/smarter way of doing this than just iterating through the bytes and converting each one?
public String openFileToString(byte[] _bytes)
{
String file_string = "";
for(int i = 0; i < _bytes.length; i++)
{
file_string += (char)_bytes[i];
}
return file_string;
}
