At the moment once all data has been read and reading continues, it will generate a browser error. It would be nice to be able to detect in SpiderBasic whether all data has read or not.

What's wrong with doing this? It works with PureBasic and I've tested it on a SpiderBasic application

Code: Select all

Restore BeginDictionary
  While TempString.s <> "_EndDictionary_"
    Read.s TempString.s
     If TempString.s <> "_EndDictionary_"
       ; Do something here
     EndIf
   Wend
   
   TempString.s = "<>"
     
DataSection
  BeginDictionary:
  Data.s "-",               "/space"
  Data.s "_",               "/space"
  Data.s "#",               "/space"
  Data.s "@",               "/space"
  Data.s "!",               "/space"
  Data.s "_EndDictionary_", "_EndDictionary_"
EndDataSection

The problem is if you for get any data terminator the program (or rather the browser) will hang...

Weird, the above method works properly for me in PB AND SB without any issues.

Are you omitting the last data line ?

No. I needed a recogniseable end of data marker so I didn't have those runaway problems:)

I don't see why a marker is a problem, as you define the data yourself

It's not - but if you try to read past the end of data, then its a problem.
