Query method
Syntax: ReplyString = Query ( QueryString
)
| Part |
Type |
Description |
| ReplyString |
String |
Response from the remote host. If an error occurs, this will be an empty
string. |
| QueryString |
String |
Query text to send to the remote host. |
This method performs a simple TCP query with text-only data.
When called, the Query method opens a TCP connection to the remote
host and port specified by the RemoteAddr and RemotePort properties, respectively. Query
then sends QueryString, stores the response in ReplyString, and closes
the connection.
If the total time for the Query call exceeds Timeout or encounters another error, Query
will return an empty string. Check the Error
property for an error code.
Query handles character set conversions transparently. It internally
converts QueryString from Unicode to ANSI before transmission and converts
the response back to Unicode before returning it as ReplyString. Query
also converts all single CR and LF characters in the response to CRLF pairs.
