TCP_Receive (tcp_ID; text) 
Integer

Function result Integer Error Code
Description
Given a long integer reference to an established TCP Session, the TCP_Receive command receives packets of data into text.
tcp_ID is a long integer reference to an open TCP session as established with either the TCP_Open or TCP_Listen command.
text is the text received. When receiving data via TCP packets, you cannot count on all of your data being received by a single TCP_Receive call. The TCP_Receive command is usually called within a Repeat loop which continually checks on the status of the connection or is scanning for a known value.
Example
C_LONGINT($tcp_id)
C_TEXT($webpage;$buffer)
C_INTEGER(vState;$error)
$webpage:=""
vState:=0
Repeat
$error:=TCP_Receive ($tcp_id;$buffer)
$error:=TCP_State ($tcp_id;vState)
$webpage:=$webpage+$buffer
Until ((vState=0) | ($error#0)) until host closes connection or an error
