How to read a Text file from server and store to a separate variable?

Question

I am working on reading a text file from the server, using http://arduino.cc/en/Reference/GSMClientConnected. It gives me this code:

char path[]="/asciilogo.txt"

I want to store only the contents that are inside the text file to a variable (String). But client.read(); only reads a single character at a time. Also, it takes all the HTTP, GET, TIME parameters together.

How to store only the contents that are present in the text file to a string variable?

Answer 1

Here is what I found:

You need to have a special character like "*" (a delimiter), from which important data will flow through.

char z = '*';
int s=0;
void setup()
{ 
 // usual initialization 
} 
void loop()
{
 if (client.available()) 
 {
 char c = client.read();
 // Serial.print(c);
 if (z == c)
 {
 s=1;
 }
 if(s == 1)
 {
 int i=0;
 k[i] = c;
 i=i+1;
 // Serial.print(k);
 }
 place +=k;
 Serial.print(place);
 }
.......
}

• sachleen: that'll work but you have to declare i outside of the loop() because the way it is now, it'll always be 0.
