Return value

  • true if the operation succeeded

  • false otherwise

Parameter Description
hWeb Valid handle to a Web connection created by WebTcpipConnect and set to Telnet mode using WebTcpipSetTelnetMode.
nCol 1-based screen column where text comparison is to be performed.
nRow 1-based screen row where text comparison is to be performed.
sText Text to be compared.
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.

nTextLength Length of screen portion to be compared with sText (optional). If omitted or 0, the length of sText is compared.
sRecv Optional string variable where all received binary data is to be placed until comparison succeeds.
