Demonstrates how to shorten a string contained in a Chilkat StringBuilder object by N chars.

Note: This example demonstrates the Shorten method which was added in Chilkat v9.5.0.87.

Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    const sb = try chilkat.StringBuilder.init();
    defer sb.deinit();

    // Load a file that contains this string:  0123456789ABCDEF
    try sb.loadFile("qa_data/txt/remove_chars.txt", "utf-8");

    sb.shorten(3) catch {};

    std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try sb.getAsString(alloc)});

    // Output is: 0123456789ABC
}
