Large Text from the Internet (>1024 Chars)

Achim_63

Hallo everyone,

the text I want to receive is no XML, it ist Text like CSV.

Name DataType Subtype
WebClient Automation 'Microsoft WinHTTP Services, version 5.1'.WinHttpRequest


URLString := 'http://www.trendmicro.com/ftp/products/tsc/readme.txt'; (for example)
WebClient.Open('GET', URLString, FALSE);
WebClient.Send();


Getting the Text from WebClient.ResponseText runs into

---

Microsoft Dynamics NAV

---

The length of the text string exceeds the size of the string buffer.


Getting it from WebClient.ResponseBody gives me the whole data in a
binary format.

Does anyone know how to convert this data to text without writing it to the disk ?

Finally it should be placed in a BLOB to handle with BigText.

Thank You for your attention.

use stream and use function

WebClient.Response(Stream);

Thank You for your response.

This is my solution:

Name DataType Subtype Length
InStream InStream
OutChar Char
OutInt Integer

InStream := WebClient.ResponseStream;

WHILE NOT InStream.EOS DO BEGIN
OutInt := InStream.READ(OutChar,1);
// to check every character
END;

CLEAR(WebClient); // Important ! to avoid the error message

This solution works also with Textlines > 1024
