hi im makeing my own client for a wellknow chat program when i connect to the server it will send a string like this

(wired chr)nickname=blah;admin=0

i found out the wired chrs are the byte length so how do i sepacte them as every time i get send data it will be diffrent and i just want the data not the byte length but it would be nice to see what the byte legth is in long so i can send back data the same way
