How does one move (instead of clone) one field in each element of a vector to a new vector ?
Here is an example of what I am trying to do:

// StringInfo
#[derive(Debug, Clone)]
struct StringInfo {
    index : usize  ,
    value : String ,
}
//
// This method clones strings that will be dropped when it returns.
fn vec_string_info_clone( vec_string : Vec<String> ) -> Vec<StringInfo>
{   let mut vec_string_info : Vec<StringInfo> = Vec::new();
    for i in 0 .. vec_string.len() {
        vec_string_info.push(  StringInfo{ index : i, value : vec_string[i].clone() } );
    }
    vec_string_info
}
//
// This method does not clone the strings but 
// it returns the vector in the reverse of the desired order.
fn vec_string_info_pop( mut vec_string : Vec<String> ) -> Vec<StringInfo>
{   let mut vec_string_info : Vec<StringInfo> = Vec::new();
    let len = vec_string.len();
    for i in 0 .. len {
        let string = vec_string.pop().unwrap();
        vec_string_info.push(  StringInfo{ index : len - i - 1, value : string }  );
    }
    vec_string_info
}
fn main() {
    //
    let vec_string        = vec![ "zero".to_string(), "one".to_string() ];
    let vec_string_info   = vec_string_info_clone( vec_string );
    println!( "{:?}", vec_string_info );
    //
    let vec_string        = vec![ "zero".to_string(), "one".to_string() ];
    let vec_string_info   = vec_string_info_pop( vec_string );
    println!( "{:?}", vec_string_info );
}
