Returns a binary format that reads a text value.
function (optional
length
as nullable any, optionalencoding
as nullable any) as function
Returns a binary format that reads a text value. The length
specifies the number of bytes to decode, or the binary format of the length that preceeds the text. The optional encoding
value specifies the encoding of the text. If the encoding
is not specified, then the encoding is determined from the Unicode byte order marks. If no byte order marks are present, then TextEncoding.Utf8
is used.
Binary Formats.Reading text
Decode two bytes as ASCII text.
letbinaryData = #binary({65, 66, 67}),textFormat = BinaryFormat.Text(2, TextEncoding.Ascii)intextFormat(binaryData)
"AB"
Decode ASCII text where the length of the text in bytes appears before the text as a byte.
letbinaryData = #binary({2, 65, 66}),textFormat = BinaryFormat.Text(BinaryFormat.Byte,TextEncoding.Ascii)intextFormat(binaryData)
"AB"
