Question

I’m programming a telnet admin system that request to user to input a command.

I can read it from the socket with a network stream but when I compare the string to another I can’t get a match, i have tried Regex..

So here is my code:

while (!bit.Contains("\r") && !bit.Contains("\n") && !bit.Contains("."))
{
    bit = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer);
    outputString += bit;
    stream.Read(buffer, 0, 1);
}

 // Read till user input ENTER

if ( outputString == "$edit" )
     // do something

Answer 1

It’s obvious that you must move first line of the loop:

// init bit variable here
while (!bit.Contains("\r") && !bit.Contains("\n") && !bit.Contains("."))
{
    outputString += bit;
    stream.Read(buffer, 0, 1);

    bit = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(buffer);
}
