Is there a straightforward way to convert CArrayPointer<UByteVar> to a String?

[Dominaezzz]

This is the best I've got, it.reinterpret<ByteVar>().toKString().

[basher]

Be sure your string is null-terminated in that case

[napperley]

Would be great if the toKString ext function covered the CArrayPointer<UByteVar> and CArrayPointer<ByteVar> data types. Having toKString available would help save a bit of time.

Are there functions available for handling the UTF-16LE String encoding? Currently using the ASCII version of a C function ( http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__desc.html#gaf3f92d0a7465d49a5e61eb3f8689fae4 ) from the libusb library. The library has a UTF-16LE version of the C function that is being used ( http://libusb.sourceforge.net/api-1.0/group__desc.html#gab89c2119087308c6bfa6a4be30f39bc3 ).
