Serial communication between Espruino and Arduino for 433mhz OOK transmit/receive.

Hm, how do I work around this without making it into a total mess?

On Arduino it's easy, because Serial.read() always returns one character. But here, I could be getting anything...

Is there anything more graceful than

AzzyRF.prototype.onData = function(data) {
for (var x=0; x < data.length; x++) {
	if (data.charAt(x)=="#" && this.datastring) {
		if (this.datastring) {
			this.Serial.print(this.datastring);
			this.datastring="";
		}
	} else if (data.charAt(x)==">" && this.datastring) {
		//TODO
	} else if (data.charAt(x)=="\n" || data.charAt(x)=="\r"){
		if (this.inString!="") {
			this.outputFormat(this.inString);
			this.inString="";
		}
	} else {
		this.inString+=data.charAt(x);
    if (this.timeout > 0) {
      clearTimeout(this.timeout);
		}
  }
}
    this.timeout=setTimeout(function() {this.outputFormat(this.inString);this.i­nString='';this.timeout=0;}.bind(this),1­000);
};
