Receive Text up to a Match into a StringBuilder
See more Socket/SSL/TLS Examples
Demonstrates Socket.ReceiveUntilMatchSb, which receives bytes until an exact byte sequence is found and appends the received text to a StringBuilder.
Background. The match string is encoded using
StringCharset and compared byte-for-byte. The match may span multiple underlying network reads.Chilkat C Downloads
