I have a Job that needs to take some string from main thread and Use it Locally within itself .

Considering that the Job system cannot directly accept the String as an argument is there any workround to circumvent this limit?

Can we move the string to NativeArray and then repackage it back into the string inside the jobs and use it?

For now i just have an empty strig? as output from Debug.Log .

                string myString = "string";
                StringTest job = new StringTest
                {
                    // first i need a way to copy a string to array of bytes 
                    inStr = new NativeArray<byte>(myString.Length, Allocator.TempJob),
                };
                JobHandle handle =  joba.Schedule();
                handle.Complete();                
              
 
               
      
                  public struct StringTest : IJob
{
                  public NativeArray<byte> inStr;
                  public void Execute(){
                  string s = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(inStr.ToArray());
                  Debug.Log("debug log from Job " +s);}
                  };
                    

I have a Job that needs to take some string from main thread and use it locally.

Considering that the Job System cannot directly accept the string as an argument, is there any workaround to circumvent this limit?

Can we move the string to a NativeArray<bytes> and then repackage it back into the string inside the job and use it?

For now I just have an empty string as output from the Debug.Log below:

string myString = "string";
StringTest job = new StringTest
{
    // first I need a way to copy a string to array of bytes. 
    inStr = new NativeArray<byte>(myString.Length, Allocator.TempJob),
};
JobHandle handle =  joba.Schedule();
handle.Complete();   
 

public struct StringTest : IJob
{
    public NativeArray<byte> inStr;
 
    public void Execute(){
        string s = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(inStr.ToArray());
        Debug.Log("debug log from Job " +s);
    }
}
