waitfor - interesting discovery

[flea333]

I found an interesting thing happen and this is why I thought the waitfor commands were not working! I was using waitfor for the same thing I was transmitting, and for some reason the waitfor read the sent command and reported it got the data. I found this out by specifying MATCHCASE for the waitfor and making the command transmitted in lowercase while the waitfor was uppercase...it then worked.

Anybody know why the waitfor reads the transmitted data?

I believe this is due to the system you are connected to echoing back what you transmitted. Since it send it back the exact data, the waitfor command returns success.
