Parse string object from SmartFoxServer

Questions & Answers
1

I am trying to make an extension for SmartFoxServer and want to send the data in the raw format rather than xml. I know this is probably a really stupid question, but I can't seem to figure out how to parse the data when I get it back.

public void OnExtensionResponse(object data, string type) {
    Debug.Log(data);
}

This outputs the full data string with the % delimiter. However, when I try the following I get an error:

public void OnExtensionResponse(object data, string type) {
    Debug.Log(data[0]);
}

error CS0021: Cannot apply indexing with [] to an expression of type `object'

Are you trying to get the first character of the string? If "data" contains a string, you just need to cast it to a string before trying to use it as such (because of the parameter type, it starts as a generic 'object' type).

public void OnExtensionResponse(object data, string type) {

    // cast to string type:
    string dataString = (string)data;

    // now we can access the chars in the string:
    Debug.Log( dataString[0] );

}
