function byteTableToWideString(Table) : String

Converts a table of bytes to a wide string (UTF-16/Unicode), and then to a Lua string.

Function Parameters[edit]

Parameter Type Description
Table Table A table containing the bytes to convert to a wide string (UTF-16/Unicode).

Returns[edit]

String — The resulting string formed from the wide string byte values.

Explanation[edit]

Each pair of bytes in the table is interpreted as a UTF-16 (little-endian) character code, and the resulting string is constructed by concatenating these characters in order.

For example, byteTableToWideString({0x41, 0x00, 0x42, 0x00, 0x43, 0x00}) returns "ABC".

Examples[edit]

local str = byteTableToWideString({0x41, 0x00, 0x42, 0x00, 0x43, 0x00})
print(str) -- Output: ABC
