Struct rlua::String [] [src]

pub struct String<'lua>(_);

Handle to an internal Lua string.

Unlike Rust strings, Lua strings may not be valid UTF-8.

Methods

impl<'lua> String<'lua>
[src]

[src]

Get a &str slice if the Lua string is valid UTF-8.

Examples

let lua = Lua::new();
let globals = lua.globals();

let version: String = globals.get("_VERSION")?;
assert!(version.to_str().unwrap().contains("Lua"));

let non_utf8: String = lua.eval(r#"  "test\xff"  "#, None)?;
assert!(non_utf8.to_str().is_err());

[src]

Get the bytes that make up this string.

The returned slice will not contain the terminating nul byte, but will contain any nul bytes embedded into the Lua string.

Examples

let lua = Lua::new();

let non_utf8: String = lua.eval(r#"  "test\xff"  "#, None).unwrap();
assert!(non_utf8.to_str().is_err());    // oh no :(
assert_eq!(non_utf8.as_bytes(), &b"test\xff"[..]);

[src]

Get the bytes that make up this string, including the trailing nul byte.
