Convert numpy.ndarray to string

Question

I have a line

my_string = "My name is Aman Raparia"

which i converted to numpy array of ordinal values using operator

my_string_numpy_array = np.fromstring(my_string, dtype=np.uint8)

Is there a way to get the original string back from my_string_numpy_array?

Correct answer numpy Divakar ndarray.tostring

.

An alternative is to use chr

for each element of the array and concatenate (for example for an array without numpy):

>>> ''.join([chr(e) for e in my_string_numpy_array])
'My name is Aman Raparia'
