   ByRef found As Boolean _
) As String

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As SegmentedStream Dim delimiter As String Dim maxLength As Integer Dim found As Boolean Dim value As String   value = instance.Read(delimiter, maxLength, found)

public string Read( 
   string delimiter,
   int maxLength,
   ref bool found
)

public: string* Read( 
   string* delimiter,
   int maxLength,
   ref bool found
) 

public:
String^ Read( 
   String^ delimiter,
   int maxLength,
   bool% found
) 

Parameters

delimiter

The sequence to find.

maxLength

The maximum length of the string returned.

found

Will be set to true if sequence is found; false otherwise.

Return Value

This method reads data from the stream until delimiter is found or the end of the stream is reached.

This method is useful for reading until a sequence of characters is found. A good example of this is receiving an email message when using the POP protocol. When sending a POP mail message, a POP server will delimit the end of the message with <CRLF>.<CRLF>. Using this method you could simply read the data until this sequence is found, at which point the method would return.

If the delimiter is found, found is true, otherwise found is false.
