I have a XML feed http://www.toronto.ca/fire/cadinfo/livecad.xml that shows if a Fire Truck in Toronto Canada is on the road. I want to find a specific Fire Truck then turn ON an LED attached to the ESP. If not found keep LED OFF. I have added a sample XML feed and below that is my NOOB attempt at the code. I want to find 3 different trucks and turn on 3 different LEDS (R421 A421 LA421)
The problem I'm having is that String content = client.readStringUntil('\n'); reads line by line and if the truck say R421 is found it turns ON the LED but then continues reading down the page and turns it OFF again.
1. Can String content = client.readStringUntil('\n'); read the entire page at once into a String and not line by line?
2. How can i loop through or add the additional trucks?
XML Sample
