*MemoryBuffer The address to read from.
Length (optional) The maximum number of characters to read. If this parameter is not specified or -1 is used then there is no maximum. The string is read until a terminating null-character is encountered or the maximum length is reached.

  #PB_Ascii  : Reads the strings as ascii.

                  it can be useful as UTF8 have variable characters lengths.
