How to access string of Handle<String>?

[Bodo Kaiser]

Hello,

I am trying to get a "const char *" string out of a v8 String Object.

Unfortunately all access result in a segmentation fault:

    /*

    const char * string;

   

    string = (const char *) malloc(args[0]->ToString()

            ->GetExternalAsciiStringResource()->length());

    string = args[0]->ToString()

        ->GetExternalAsciiStringResource()->data();*/

    printf("%s\n", args[0]->ToString()->GetExternalAsciiStringResource()->data());

Can somebody tell me how to access the string properly?

Try: (i'm working from memory, but i _think_ this is right:

v8::Utf8Value str( *yourStringHandle );

puts( *str );

            ->GetExternalAsciiStringResource()->length());

"external" strings are a special case of strings which are allocated "elsewhere" (outside of v8), or at least that's my understanding.

Hey,

yes this was the right direction:

char * string = (* String::AsciiValue(args[0]->ToString));
