ReadString Method

Description

Return data from the current position as a String. Reading starts at the Position property. Set Position to change the position.

Syntax

Visual Basic
Public Function ReadString( _ Optional ByVal Count As Long = 0 _ ) As String

Parameters

Count: Specifies how much data is to be read.

Remarks

Some environments, such as JavaScript, do not support the passing of parameters by reference. Consequently, such methods as Receive cannot be used by passing in a String. You can use the DartStream Object to circumvent this limitation, as shown in the following Java sample:

<% @LANGUAGE="JScript"%>
<%
 var Tcp = Server.CreateObject("Dart.Tcp.1");
 Tcp.TimeOut = 30000;
 Tcp.Connect("www.microsoft.com", 80);
 Tcp.Send("GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n");
 var Stream = Server.CreateObject("Dart.DartStream");
 while(Tcp.State != 0)
 Tcp.Receive(Stream);
 Stream.Position = 0;
 Response.Write(Stream.ReadString());
%>
