Action
Sends a string via UDP.
Syntax
Result = UDPwriteStr( IP, port, socket , var , param)
Remarks
Result |
A word variable that will be assigned with the number of bytes actually written to the socket.
When the free transmission buffer is large enough to accept all the data, the result will be the same as BYTES. When there is not enough space, the number of written bytes will be returned.
When there is no space, 0 will be returned. |
IP |
The IP number you want to send data to.
Use the format 192.168.0.5 or use a LONG variable that contains the IP number. |
Port |
The port number you want to send data too. |
Socket |
The socket number you want to send data to (0-3). |
Var |
The name of a string variable. |
Param |
A parameter that might be 0 to send only the string or 255, to send the string with an additional CR + LF
This option was added because many protocols expect CR + LF after the string. |
The UDPwriteStr function is a special variant of the UDPwrite function.
It will use UDPWrite to send the data.
