I have a question about converting an OrderedCollection full of chars into a string. [1]
I would have thought there was a method like #asString that could be sent to an OrderedCollection to produce a string. I find myself having to do the process in three steps: 1) #reading the OC; 2) creating an empty string; and then, 3) iterating over every char to put it into the String.
I think I'm missing a simpler way. Especially with Xtreams. Shouldn't I just use a filter, change the #contentSpecies, or something?
