NETACCEPTRECEIVEVALUE

Outputs the value of the last network data received on the connection created with NETACCEPTON. The output is a list, as if parsed by PARSE.

The network data is interpreted as characters encoded in the system default Windows code page of the host operating system. As a result, it may not be possible to receive data from an instance of FMSLogo that is running on an operating system which is configured for a different language than yours.

It is best to call this procedure in your receiveready callback code of your NETACCEPTON instruction. If you don't, then the data is discarded the next time receiveready is run.

FMSLogo does not guarantee that the remote machine that sent the data is friendly. It is therefore a good practice to make sure that the data looks correct before using it. For example, if you want to accept turtle commands from a remote machine, its bad to simply RUN all data that you receive, as the data could include a SHELL command that installs malware. Instead, your program should verify that the data it received is a well-formed turtle command before running it.

This example sets up both a client and server. The client (connector) sends data to the server (accepter).
