====== GetA2 ======

''GetA2 channel, arrayName, byteLength, stopChar''

| //channel// |RS-232 Channel (1 to 3) |
| //arrayName // |Array to store received data (Byte type only)  |
| //byteLength// |Number of bytes to store (1 to 65535)   |
| //stopChar// |Stop character ASCII code |  

GetA2 is the same as [[..:GetA:]] except it will stop reading data at the when it encounters //stopChar//, even if the data received is less than byteLength. 
If //stopChar// is not found, then it will operate just like GetA.

//stopChar// is included in the received data.

You can use the Sys(1) command to check the number of bytes read:


<code xbasic>
Dim A(10) As Byte
OpenCom 1,19200,0,50,10
GetA2 1,A,20,10 ' Read until stop character ASCII code 10 is found or 20 bytes have been read
