in reply to Detect STX and ETX hex in received string

I'm not sure this is an answer, perhaps a question for other Perk Monks. :-)

I'm not convinced that a regex is the way to go here, as I suspect the code should really just start accumulating data on detecting a STX and send it to the output on reaching 80 chars or an ETX. Adding regex detection seems, to me, to be adding a lot of overhead.

A Monk aims to give answers to those who have none, and to learn from those who know more.
