I have a kotlinx.coroutines.io.ByteReadChannel. How do I read a utf8String of certain length?

[Dominaezzz]

I don't think you can read from that.

[Kroppeb]

You can read a utf8line but not a fixed size string?

[Kroppeb]

Oh I meant read channel, I'll edit

[Dominaezzz]

Ah, you'll probably have to use a string builder and loop.

[Kroppeb]

You can't even read a char though?

[Dominaezzz]

You can do this with readUTF8LineTo.

[Kroppeb]

How, Doesn't that read a whole line?

[Dominaezzz]

You can give it a limit.

[Kroppeb]

It throws an exception if it surpasses that limit iirc
