public: string* WaitFor( 
   string*[]* prompts

String^ WaitFor( 
   array<String^>^ prompts
) 

Parameters

prompts

Data is read until one of the strings in the array is found.

Return Value

This method reads from the data stream until one of the specified strings are found or the method times out. Often, it is useful when communicating with a server to be able to read data until one of several tokens is found. For example, during the login operation the server may send a string "login:". You could use the WaitFor method to keep reading until you find "login:", then issue your login command.

This method will block for the amount of time specified in Tcp.ReceiveTimeout. If Tcp.ReceiveTimeout is 0, this method will throw a System.InvalidOperationException. If prompt is not found within the time specified by Tcp.ReceiveTimeout, a System.SocketException is thrown (with the timeout ErrorCode of 10060).
