#454: String#getbyte not working? ------------------------------+--------------------------------------------- Reporter: paul@… | Owner: lsansonetti@… Type: defect | Status: new Priority: minor | Milestone: MacRuby 0.5 Component: MacRuby | Keywords: ------------------------------+---------------------------------------------
Comment(by paul@…):
Is String#getbyte on the roadmap somewhere. Given the new multibyte strings in Ruby 1.9, String#getbyte seems to be the only way to get the old behaviour of directly accessing bytes (rather than characters) in a string? OTOH I suppose there would be a Cocoa way to do that?
