Hi there,

Thanks for your feature request, there's already a Feature Request for this here.

All the best,
Joel

I haven't found any reference on 'StringBuilder' in here.

I have tried to save a list of StringBuilder but the list is always containing empty elements.
I suppose that StringBuilder isn't supported.

Would it be possible to support StringBuilder?

Hi there,

StringBuilder does not provide us with any accessible fields to serialise. However, the easiest way to serialise a StringBuilder is simply to export it as a string and save that.

Well, the whole goal of using StringBuilder in the first place is to avoid garbage, and exporting it to a string would do just that.
But I suppose that serializing a StringBuilder will also generate garbage anyway.
Sorry for that, I was just surprised when I saw it was missing, maybe adding it by exporting it to a String would be enough, at least so that nobody else is surprised when it's missing. It probably comes from TextMeshPro which can now use StringBuilder as input, so more people will use StringBuilder in the future.

That said, I'm sure that by looking at the 'StringBuilder.ToString()' code it is possible to find out how to serialize a StringBuilder (but it probably won't be easy).

This is only the current version, if .NET 2 is used then the 'StringBuilder' class was implemented differently, with an underlying 'String' insead of several chunks of 'Char[]':

These links may not be the exact versions used by Unity, but I forgot the URL for the Unity repos.

Hi there,

I'll see about adding support for StringBuilder in the next update using the ToString() method.

It's not possible to seralise the StringBuilder through it's fields because the fields are inaccessible (more specifically, the fields are marked as internal so cannot be accessed outside their assembly).

It is possible to access the fields using reflection, but it would break when/if Unity changes the .NET version and the 'StringBuilder.cs' code is modified.
That said, I do understand that it's not advised for an asset to access private code within the framework itself.

Thanks for considering adding StringBuilder support using 'ToString()', it will make ES3 even more complete.

I would like to request that ES3 support saving doubles. Thank you

Hi there,

Easy Save already supports saving all primitive types, including doubles. I.e. ES3.Save<double> and ES3.Load<double>.

All the best,

Ah sorry it wasn't in the list, clearly I just did something wrong. That's not a surprise. Thanks

Hey! For now we can only download all the file names from the ES3 cloud. Is it possible to have a feature to get a list of the files with a certain mask? So it will be a fast milliseconds mysql query who did all the sorting/searching job (instead of manual unity sorting which could take minutes on a large database). It will be a great help to have this feature as well as playmaker action for it <3
