ToString

Copies the contents into a new String.

Module: Std

Signature

func ToString(self) -> String;

Returns

String — a new string holding a copy of the builder's current content.

Description

ToString allocates a fresh buffer and copies the bytes into it, leaving the builder unchanged and reusable. Use it when you need the current content but want to keep appending afterward. If you're finished with the builder, prefer IntoString, which avoids the copy.

This method is also StringBuilder's Display implementation.

Example

import Std::StringBuilder;

var sb = StringBuilder::New();
sb.Append("partial");
let snapshot = sb.ToString();  // copy; sb still usable
sb.Append(" more");
