This action can be used to retrieve the size of a buffer, in bytes. You supply the unique buffer ID value as returned by the action Create Buffer and then give a target variable to return the size value to. The target variable can be flagged as being a temporary local variable, in which case it will be created for you and removed from memory again at the end of the current action script or event.
Argument | Description |
---|---|
Buffer | The buffer index (stored in a variable) |
Target | The target variable to hold the returned value |
The above action block code gets the size of the buffer and then uses that value to set the read/write position to the end of the currently stored data.
