Im reading the output from a serial port, it has an event whenever a new line is reached <br />
so the output is buffored per line. the output looks something like<br />
<br />
----- somedata some data<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;some data <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;some data<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;some data<br />
------ new data &nbsp;new<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;new &nbsp;new<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;new <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;new<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;new <br />
&nbsp; &nbsp; ldkslsdjf<br />
<br />
the sequence starts with -------, now I want to have a buffor where I oneventdata <br />
it would add to the string I have the new data then phrase it looking for ------ the new sequence if there is one then the the thing would get processed. Now I tried looking for a split function that would allow the delimeter to be another string but couldnt find one. Can anyone help me?<br />
