John,
try:
RECEIVE PACKET($DocRef;$TextValue;Char(13)) //return
or
RECEIVE PACKET($DocRef;$TextValue;Char(10)) // line feed
or
RECEIVE PACKET($DocRef;$TextValue;Char(13)+Char(10)) // both of the above
depending on how much control you have on the incoming file it could be any
combination
my preferred way is:
$EOL := Test_EOL($DocRef)
if ($EOL #"")
RECEIVE PACKET($DocRef;$TextValue;$EOL)
`do stuff
below written in email so...
Test_EOL
`$1 - time - document reference
`RETURNS - text - EOL character or empty string if none found
c_time($1;$DocRef)
c_text($TextValue;Return;$0)
c_boolean($EOF)
$DocRef := $1
Repeat
RECEIVE PACKET($DocRef;$TextValue;100)
case of
: (position(char(13)+char(10),$TextValue) >0)
$return := char(13)+char(10)
: (position(char(13),$TextValue) >0)
$return := char(13)
: (position(char(10),$TextValue) >0)
$return := char(10)
:(OK = 0)
$EOF:=true
end case
until ($return#"") | ($EOF)
`I forget the command - but reset read point in file to start
`end
