EOL Property

Used to break the incoming data stream into chunks separated by EOL.

Syntax

ipportcontrol.EOL[=string]

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property is used to define boundaries in the input stream using the value of the property.

This property is especially useful with ASCII files. Setting it to CRLF (Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)) enables splitting of the incoming ASCII text stream into defined lines. In this case, one event is fired for each line received (as well as in packet boundaries). The CRLF (Chr$(13) & Chr$(10)) bytes are discarded.

This property is a binary string. In particular, this means that it can be more than one byte long, and it can contain NULL bytes.

To read or write binary data to the property, a Variant (Byte Array) version is provided in .EOLB.

Data Type
