Locates and returns the initial byte values up to the indicated delimiter.

File

function FetchBytes(
    var AInput: TIdBytes; 
    const ADelim: TIdBytes; 
    const ADelete: Boolean = IdFetchDeleteDefault
): TIdBytes;

Parameters

Parameters	Description
AInput	Values to be searched.
ADelim	Delimiter for the fetched values.
ADelete	Indicates if the fetch values are removed from the original input.

Returns

TIdBytes - Values found in the input up to the delimiter.

Description

FetchBytes is a TIdBytes function used to locate and return the inital values in AInput up to (but not including) the delimiter indicated in ADelim. When ADelim does not appear in AInput, the entire contents of AInput is used in the return value.

When ADelete contains True, the values in AInput are updated to remove the inital byte values and the delimiter character. If ADelim does not appear in AInput, the entire contents of AInput is deleted.

FetchBytes is the TIdBytes-specific equivalent of the Fetch function.
