Converting string to char array

dev google-group-archive

Hi,

I have a string that I need to convert to a char array to pass to a Java
object, so if I do this manually I have to do:

exampleVar = javaCast(“char[]”, [‘e’,‘x’,‘a’,‘m’,‘p’,‘l’,‘e’]);

However I have the data as a string:

exampleVar = “example”;

I’ve looked over the functions on the luceedocs.org but I can’t see one for
converting the string to an array, am I missing it or will I have to write
a function myself to do this?

So I’m guessing I’m hoping for something like:

exampleVar = “example”;
exampleStringArray = stringToArray(exampleVar);
exampleCharArray = javaCast(“char[]”, exampleStringArray);

Thanks.

Kind regards,

Andrew

If - for some reason - you wanted to stick with CML:

cfmlArray = exampleVar.listToArray(“”)

But use the toCharArray() version, IMO–

You don’t need a special Lucee function; there’s already one in
java.lang.String:

exampleVar = “example”
charArray = exampleVar.toCharArray()
dump(variables)

as Adam said, we could also extend the function JavaCast to support this
carr = javaCast(“char”, “Hello World”);
can you raise a ticket for it
