NativeStringMBS(s as string) as string

Type Topic Plugin Version macOS Windows Linux iOS Targets
global method String MBS Util Plugin 2.7 ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes ✅ Yes All
Returns a native string with the given string as content.

If the string in the parameter s is allready native it is returned unchanged and without allocating additional memory. Else the string is copied into a new string with native characters.
On Mac OS Classic native means MacRoman encoding, on Mac OS X it's UTF8 and on Windows the ANSI Codepage.
May return "" on low memory conditions.
Strings and encoding work only perfectly for RB 4.5 or newer.
Added Linux support in v5.1.
