Example for the SSHRead function
This example is used to read the result of an SSH command.
// The session was started by SSHConnectShell
// cMySession is sshSession
 
let SSH_PROMPT = "$ "
let NB_ATTEMPTS  = 20
let MAX_ATTEMPTS = 2
 
nNbAttempts is int
nMaxNbAttempts is int
sStdOut is ANSI string
sStdOutline is ANSI string
sStdBuffer is ANSI string
 
// Read the console of SSH shell after sending a command
// with SSHWrite
WHILE True
 
// Consume the content of the console by leaving 1s rest
sStdBuffer = SSHRead(cMySession, 1000, sshStandardOutput)
 
// As long as the console is empty
IF sStdBuffer = "" THEN
 
nNbAttempts = 0
 
// Try to read again until <NB_ATTEMPTS> times by leaving 100ms rest
// between each attempt
WHILE sStdBuffer = "" _AND_ nNbAttempts < NB_ATTEMPTS
nNbAttempts ++
sStdBuffer = SSHRead(oSession, 100, nConsole)
END
 
// End
IF nNbAttempts = NB_ATTEMPTS THEN
 
// Interactive mode (the shell expects an answer)
IF sStdOutline =]~ ":" THEN
BREAK
END
 
nMaxNbAttempts ++
nNbAttempts = 0
 
IF nMaxNbAttempts = NB_ATTEMPTS THEN
ErrorThrow(500, "Connection expired")
BREAK
END
 
CONTINUE
END
END
 
// If the console is not empty
IF sStdBuffer <> "" THEN
 
// Deletes the <CR> only
sStdBuffer = Replace(sStdBuffer, " " + Charact(13), "")
 
// Fills
sStdOutline += sStdBuffer
 
// If the line ends by <CR>
