| [Clear](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/smartstrings/core/output/stringoutput/clear.md)       | Clears the StringBuilder used to create the output. This method gets called by StringOutputPool when it releases an instance. |
| [ToString](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/smartstrings/core/output/stringoutput/tostring.md) | Returns the results of the StringBuilder.                                                                                     |
| [Write](/engine/6000.7/script-reference/unity/smartstrings/core/output/stringoutput/write.md)       | Writes a character repeated `count` times to the StringBuilder object.                                                        |
