Byte Array to string ?

[CdRsKuLL]

Hi peeps.. I was wondering if someone could help me.

I'm trying to read a byte array into a string however it's array is filling up from a dll in the following format..

[83][0][105][0][114][0][32][0][74][0][105][0][109][0][109][0][121][0][32][0][89][0][111][0][117][0][110][0][103][0][32][0][97][0][116][0][32][0][57][0][48][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0][0]

now its decoding the first byte but I think because of the next [0] it's not completing the whole array.

This is the code that I'm using...

Radiotext = System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(szRetRDS)

I did think about writing it into another byte array excluding the [0] but unsure how I would go about this.

Any help would be much appreciated.

thanks

sorted it.. changed it to unicode format and then replaced all the space in the convert string with nothing

stringfound.Replace(Chr(0), String.Empty)

Job done.

thanks

Ascii encoding is an 8bit (a byte) encoding, and that looks like a 16bit encoding (two bytes each char). I would use Encoding.Unicode.GetString if I knew no better. No extraneous spaces show, by the way.
