bytes to utf8 string / byte stream parsing

can anyone provide me some pointers on how to turn a bunch of bytes into a utf8 string?

i'm planning on writing a byte stream parser, would appreciate anything you might find useful in addition to the Streams chapter from Pharo by Example

Hello Fabrice

Did you read the excellent book chapter written by sven on stream encodings?

Check Enterprise Pharo book http://books.pharo.org

Now can you tell us what you want to do?

It would be nice also to check if Xtreams offers (or deserves some extensions).

Re: bytes to utf8 string / byte stream parsing

hey! yeah, i checked it, it seems to solve my issue but i havent test it yet. i have a custom binary format that i want to parse, and was looking for a way for reading a utf8 string as encoded by c# (where i generate files with this format).

gotta check that Xtreams thing
