Reads a variable from the filter's buffer (from the current position in the buffer).

Syntax:

variable = object.GetVar(type, size)

Parameters:

type - A numeric constant. Specifies the type of the value to be read. See the type constants.

size - Size is used only if the type constant does not define the type's size implicitly. Currently this value is not ignored only for strings.

returned result: The value read from the buffer.

Remarks:

This method is for low level access to the data contained in the filter's buffer and as consequence the data in a stream if the filter is used for low level access to a stream.

Applies to: SFFilter object
