That is a very bad way to handle strings. ReadLn() requires a
terminator, defaulting to LF if you do not specify your own, and it
will return a blank string if a timeout occurs.

You can't. It is not designed for that. If there is absolutely no
other possible way for you to detect the end of a string, then you
will just have to use CurrentReadBuffer() instead, and take into
account that you may get partial/concatentated strings because of it.
Why are your strings not terminated? Is there a length value
available instead?
