Telnet Read VI and variable length response

[nyc_(is_out_of_here)]

I am trying out Internet Toolkit's Telnet VIs.

It seems that the Telnet Read VI defaults to 60 bytes.

I am not sure what is the best way to deal with the situation of a variable length response.

Some responses are 3 lines; others can be 50 lines.

Hi,

Regarding your inquiry, you should try setting the “bytes to read” to a value less than or equal to 0 and simultaneously set the “read mode” to “line” so the VI would read until data matches “line separator”.

So, the "line separator" can be the prompt?

Thanks. I will give that a try on Monday.

the line seperator is explicitedly <CR><LF> or carriage return and line feed. No other line seperator is automatically supported.
