Receiving data to a buffer

[TheWizardofInt]

Normally I would use

 

Dim s as String 

s = String$(100,0)

 

To create a 100 character buffer to retrieve data to, when the data had to be moved to a buffer.

 

Does anyone know the equivalent now?

[PlausiblyDamp]

Where is the data commiing from? Is it formatted as a string or just raw bytes?

 

If the latter:

dim b(100) as byte

 

would probably be enough.

[TheWizardofInt]

It is a string

 

I will try it - thanks so much!

There's a high probability you should be using a StringBuilder instead.

Imports System.Text
Dim builder As StringBuilder = New StringBuilder(100)

[TheWizardofInt]

Actually, it was this

 

 Dim sBuf1 As String
 sBuf1 = New String(Chr(0), 100)

 

Thanks for the help, tho
