readBytes
The second way to read characters from a stream is by extracting them using the readBytes method.
This method accepts three parameters; a buffer, the starting location in the buffer to write data, and the
length of bytes to extract:
var charactersRead = stream.readBytes( strBuffer, intStart, intLength );
The buffer is a string of a preset length, which is passed to the readBytes method and used as a container
for the bytes you want to extract. You can use an existing string for this, or simply use the makeString
method in the neko.Lib class. It is passed by reference, so once you have made a call to the readBytes
method, you will then likely use the string elsewhere in the application, or store it in another medium.
When specifying the start location and length of bytes within the buffer, it is important to make sure that
the sum of both values is not greater than the length of the buffer. Failure to enforce this will cause the
readBytes method to fail.
