Is there a good tutorial on type conversion between bytes, strings and UTF32 strings?  I have read all the manuals I found, yet the following code can only in pieces, but not as a whole:

void main()
{
ubyte[4] buffer4;
char[3] trans;     //other size set==array copy lengths error line 17
dchar[] kanaChar;

File table1 = new File();
table1.open("chartable1.txt", FileMode.In);

table1.readExact(buffer4, 2);
trans[] = toString(*buffer4);  //line 17

writefln(trans);

kanaChar = toUTF32(trans);
writefln(kanaChar);
encode(trans[], kanaChar[]);  //but this function wants resizable string
writefln(kanaChar);
kanaChar = decode(trans, 0);
writefln(kanaChar);
kanaChar[0] = 0x239;
writefln(kanaChar);

table1.close();
}

And yes, I did manage to convert arrays of ubytes to integers and longs.  It was quite simple.

The 'encode()' routine takes a SINGLE utf32 character and appends it to the
supplied utf string.

 encode(trans, kanaChar[0]);
