Discovering All Wireless Networks

When called with an empty string argument, wln.scan and wln.activescan will attempt to find all wireless networks in range. After the task completes, the wln.scanresultssid read-only property will contain a comma-separated list of network names.  

Tibbo BASIC
'Scan for available networks. This is a simplified example.
Dim s As String
...
wln.scan("") 'you could use wln.activescan('') instead
While wln.task<>PL_WLN_TASK_IDLE
Wend
s=wln.scanresultssid 'the list of networks will be copied into s

After executing the above, the s string may contain something like this: "TIBBO,c1100_1,.....,WNET2". Notice "....." — these are five bytes with ASCII code 0. They represent a hidden network (i.e., a network that does not broadcast its SSID). Naturally, the name of this network is not revealed to your device. This will be the case regardless of whether you used wln.scan or wln.activescan.
