Get String From Buffer Method

The Get String From Buffer method returns a string that starts at the current cursor position in a buffer and continues for the number of bytes that you specify in the length argument. It reads the string according to the value of the unicode flag of the buffer. It does not add a terminating null byte even if you do not provide a length argument.

Format

bufferVar.getString( [length] )
