WebTcpipScreenRecvPacketsUntilStatus Function

Action

Receives data from a given connection until rendered screen signals a specified status. This function is only valid on open connections that have a screen renderer associated with them and define statuses by an underlying protocol, as is the case with Telnet connections.

Syntax

WebTcpipScreenRecvPacketsUntilStatus(    in  hWeb         : number,
                                         in  sStatusName  : string,
                                         in  sStatusValue : string,
                                         in  nOptions     : number optional,
                                         in  nMaxLen      : number optional,
                                         out sRecv        : string optional ) : boolean;

Return value

  • true if the operation was successful and data was received until specified status value was found

  • false otherwise

Parameter Description
hWeb Valid handle to a Web connection created by WebTcpipConnect. Web connection must be in Telnet mode (by a previous WebTcpipSetTelnetMode function call) and have a screen renderer associated with it.
sStatusName Status identifier against which the content of sStatusValue should be compared. The only supported status is "Keyboard Locked".
sStatusValue String value that the status value should be compared against. Valid strings are "true" and "false".
nOptions

By default the retrieved content has to be equal with the compared sVerify string, case-insensitively (optional). Comparison options are:

  • TELNET_FLAG_EQUAL: Comparison is made against both whole strings. (default)

  • TELNET_FLAG_CASE_SENSITIVE: Perform comparison case-sensitively.

  • TELNET_FLAG_IS_DIFFERENT: Negates the logical comparison.

  • TELNET_FLAG_IGNORE_WHITE_SPACE: All whitespaces in both compared strings are cut before comparison is performed.

  • TELNET_FLAG_CONTAINS: Compared string must occur within the retrieved content.

  • TELNET_FLAG_FROM_LEFT: The retrieved content only has to begin with the compared string.

  • TELNET_FLAG_TRIM_LEFT: Leading blanks are trimmed from retrieved content before comparison.

  • TELNET_FLAG_TRIM_RIGHT: Trailing blanks are trimmed from retrieved content before comparison.

  • TELNET_FLAG_TRIM_BOTH: Rendered text is trimmed from both sides before comparison.

  • TELNET_FLAG_FROM_RIGHT: Comparison is made from the right of the retrieved content.

nMaxLen Maximum string length of the value to be compared (optional).
sRecv Output buffer for all binary data received from the connection until sStatusValue matches the rendered field, including the last received packet that has the desired status value (optional).
