copying a subsection of an array to another array?

[jeric]

I have two byte arrays, X and Y. X contains 100 elements, and Y has 10
elements. I want Y to equal X[50] through X[59]. How can I do this without
a loop? While in this example the arrays are only maxing at 100, in reality
there will be up to 5MB+ stored in this byte array, hence the lack of
wanting to use a loop to do this convertion.

I have seen many builtin convert-to methods take in 3 params: byte[], int
first index, int last index. Then it would convert that subsection to, for
example, a string. Well, I was hoping for a similar method, but for a
byte[] to byte[] convertion, but can not seem to find one. Can someone
point me to the proper method that can do this? Or, is my only option a
hideous loop?

Thanks
