Forums Scripts & Popups Sockread problem

Hello,

When I use sockread command to retrieve HTTP data on a web page, it doesnt show data exactly. I think variables cant handle content cause its too long sometimes. Can anyone help me please.

Are you using binvars?

Yes I tried them but when I echo data in active window, it doesnt show all data but when I write binvar to a txt file, it writes all of data. I dont understant.

/sockread
The -n switch allows you to read a $crlf terminated line into a &binvar. If the incoming line does not contain a $crlf, no bytes will be read into &binvar, unless you specify the -f switch, which forces the read (same as when reading into %vars).

Have you tried this? I don't that it will help but try /sockread -fn &bvar


Otherwise, show us your sockread code.

Cut corners when you're writing an interpreter (for good reasons, usually) and you'll understand why but the basics are, if you join lots of data together rather than parsing it on the fly you might end up with inefficient code that spends most of it's time concatenating very long strings. Try processing (echoing) smaller parts (lines as suggested) at a time.
