I have 16k chars in String variable, and got an error when try to manipulate this string

[diesieben07]

What's the error?

[mike_shysh]

Cause: UTF8 string too large

[mike_shysh]

It's on https://play.kotlinlang.org/ 😃

[diesieben07]

can you link your testcase?

[mike_shysh]

cant paste here)

[diesieben07]

you can share a play.kotlinlang link

[diesieben07]

there is a share button on the right

[mike_shysh]

my string is 1288000 bytes

[mike_shysh]

its not bigger than MAX_INT

[diesieben07]

seems there is a limit due to the architecture of the kotlin compiler

[diesieben07]

i would argue that having such a large string literal in your source code is anti pattern

[mike_shysh]

I am not using it in source code, This string is a result and i need to process it

[diesieben07]

well, then you need to post the actual error message. the example you posted crashes the compiler

[mike_shysh]

i want to cut it in size according to some conditions

[diesieben07]

and i mean the full stack trace

[mike_shysh]

If i just print this string in my code, all is ok)

[mike_shysh]

But I need to process this string somehow

[diesieben07]

again, please post the actual error message you are getting.

[diesieben07]

complete stack trace

[mike_shysh]

The problem is only when I specify this string as a constant

[mike_shysh]

I cant get the error, coze Intelijidea hangs)

[diesieben07]

you said you didn't have it as a constant...

[mike_shysh]

yes

[mike_shysh]

But temporary, for dev porposes, in order to skip the code before, I specified it as a constant

[diesieben07]

don't...

[mike_shysh]

I just try to leave the code as usual

[diesieben07]

if you need it, put it in a text file and use File(...).readText()
