Convert uint16 array to string

I have an array of uint16 coming from WinAPI PROCESSENTRY32.szExeFile that I wanna convert to a string.

PROCESSENTRY32.szExeFile

Here's my var type

var hello [260]uint16


now I need to convert hello to a string. How can I do that?

Edit

Here's what I've tried:

func szExeFileToString(ByteString [260]uint16) string
b := make(byte, len(ByteString))

for i, v := range ByteString
b[i] = byte(v)


return string(b)



However, this returns pretty weird strings...
result (the function should convert Windows process names in the PROCESSENTRY32.szExeFile (-> [260]uint16) type to string)

PROCESSENTRY32.szExeFile

[260]uint16

What format should the string take? What have you tried? Show your code. What problems did you encounter?

package windows

import "golang.org/x/sys/windows"

import "golang.org/x/sys/windows"

func UTF16ToString

func UTF16ToString(s uint16) string


UTF16ToString returns the UTF-8 encoding of the UTF-16 sequence s,
with a terminating NUL removed.

For example,

package main

import (
"fmt"
"golang.org/x/sys/windows"
)

func main()
var szExeFile [260]uint16
szExeFile = [260]uint16'e', 'x', 'e', 'F', 'i', 'l', 'e'
exeFile := windows.UTF16ToString(szExeFile[:])
fmt.Println(exeFile)



Output:

exeFile
