string EOF = "\\n\\n\\n";

EOF is a value returned by the dataserver event, as a result of a call to llGetNotecardLine, specifically when the requested line is past the end of the notecard. The value returned equals “\n\n\n”, which is to say, three newline characters (0x0a).

Essentially, it is used to let you know when you have finished reading information (usually user configurable parameters) from a notecard, and are ready to move onto the next stage or state of the script.

Example 1
12 collapsed lines
integer iLine;
string card = "~config";
key myquery;


default{
    state_entry() {
        if(llGetInventoryType(card) != INVENTORY_NONE)
            myquery = llGetNotecardLine(card, iLine = 0);
        else
            llSay(0,"The \"" + card + "\" notecard is missing! Cannot proceed!");
    }


    dataserver(key request, string sdata){
        if(request == myquery){
            if(sdata == EOF){ // no more text in the notecard
                state ready; //move to the next state
            }
            else {
                //here you would process the data
12 collapsed lines
                //llOwnerSay(sdata);
                myquery = llGetNotecardLine(card, ++iLine); // now read in next line, and start the dataserver process all over again
            }
        }
    }
}


state ready{
    state_entry(){
        llOwnerSay("I'm ready for action!");
    }
