Problem with receiving SerialStream

[Pantau123]

Hi, i use the main branch version of Seriallib with SerialStream.
I can not read characters with << from the SerialStream.
I can only read the function SerialStream.read(char*,streamsize), but everytime i receive a leading '\0' and i have to create a char array with receivedbytes +1.
Can anybody help me?

Are you expecting null bytes or whitespaces in your input. Maybe have a look at #162.

[Pantau123]

No i don't expect a null byte but it can be a whitespace.

[Pantau123]

But the problem is where does the leading '\0' come from?

[Pantau123]

with noskipws i receive the data with <<

Hi @Pantau123 , did that resolve this issue for you?
