# Struct ethcore_util::standard::str::Utf8Error 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub struct Utf8Error { /* fields omitted */ }

Errors which can occur when attempting to interpret a sequence of `u8` as a string.

As such, the `from_utf8` family of functions and methods for both `String`s and `&str`s make use of this error, for example.

## Methods

### `impl Utf8Error`

#### `fn valid_up_to(&self) -> usize`
1.5.0

Returns the index in the given string up to which valid UTF-8 was verified.

It is the maximum index such that `from_utf8(input[..index])` would return `Ok(_)`.

# Examples

Basic usage:

    use std::str;

    // some invalid bytes, in a vector
    let sparkle_heart = vec![0, 159, 146, 150];

    // std::str::from_utf8 returns a Utf8Error
    let error = str::from_utf8(&sparkle_heart).unwrap_err();

    // the second byte is invalid here
    assert_eq!(1, error.valid_up_to());

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
