you can put the stream in `objectMode` and then calling `.push("")` will
append a the literal value `""` to the internal buffer. So calling
`.read()` will return "".Of course in objectMode there is no buffer concatenation so you can't do `read(bytes)` On Fri, Mar 29, 2013 at 10:57 AM, Mark Hahn <[email protected]> wrote: > > How is an empty string "no data"? > > +1 > > In general, if I tell something to do something then it should do > something.
