Description

When using the StringToBytes() function it returns one less byte due to the -1 at the end of the return. The function takes a string and converts it to bytes but it always returns one less byte than what was put in by the string. This causes the number of bytes returned to be in-accurate.

Steps to Reproduce
  1. Open the Visual Studio solution file for 4.17.2
  2. Navigate to lines 1801 - 1812 in UnrealString.h to find StringToBytes

 

Result: StringToBytes function returns NumBytes - 1

Expected: StringToBytes function returns NumBytes
