<p>UI Lua API import (WAR 1.4.8)</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>{{LuaApi|group=Interface}}<br /> Converts a wide string to an ordinary Lua string.<br /> <br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> text = WStringToString(wideText)<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == Arguments ==<br /> ;wideText : &lt;code&gt;wstring&lt;/code&gt; – The wide string to convert.<br /> <br /> == Returns ==<br /> ;text : &lt;code&gt;string&lt;/code&gt; – The converted string.<br /> <br /> == Details ==<br /> * Each wide character is cut to its low 8 bits. ASCII text converts correctly; characters above 255 (for example Cyrillic or other non-Latin letters) turn into unrelated single-byte characters.<br /> * &lt;code&gt;wideText&lt;/code&gt; must be a wide string; an ordinary string or a number raises the generic &#039;&#039;Invalid Parameters&#039;&#039; message and the function returns nothing.<br /> * Exactly one argument must be passed.<br /> <br /> == Errors ==<br /> None besides the generic &#039;&#039;Invalid Parameters&#039;&#039; message.<br /> <br /> == Example ==<br /> A minimal call built from the signature:<br /> &lt;pre&gt;<br /> local name = WStringToString( L&quot;Hello&quot; ) -- &quot;Hello&quot;<br /> &lt;/pre&gt;<br /> <br /> == See also ==<br /> * [[API:StringToWString|StringToWString]]</div>
