**MBS**( **"Socket.ReadLineHex";** /\* Reads a line of data from socket and returns them as text. \*/  
**$SocketID**; /\* The socket ID received by [Socket.Connect](SocketConnect.md) function.e.g. $sock \*/   
**$Delimiter**) /\* Which character to use as delimiter. Pass number from 0 to 255 for the byte to use. e.g. 13 for CR line ending. Special handling is done if you pass 1310 as delimiter to cover CRLF as a 2 byte delimiter.e.g. 13 \*/ 

### Parameters

| Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| SocketID | The socket ID received by [Socket.Connect](SocketConnect.md) function. | $sock |
| Delimiter | Which character to use as delimiter. Pass number from 0 to 255 for the byte to use. e.g. 13 for CR line ending. Special handling is done if you pass 1310 as delimiter to cover CRLF as a 2 byte delimiter. | 13 |

### Description

Reads a line of data from socket and returns them as text.  
The delimiter allows you to read from the buffer just one line. If two lines are in read buffer, we leave second line there for the next call.  
### Examples

Read one line and decode them from Windows text encoding into FileMaker:

 $value = MBS ( "[Socket.Read](SocketRead.md)"; $sock ; 13; "windows" )
