Can you send a multi-dimensional byte array via winsock?

[Nove]

Or is it just a single-dimension array?

[chemicalNova]

In my experience, its just single. You could possibly write a small hack though to allow for multi-dimensional arrays.

You could try sending it in serialized form (can you even do that with multi-dim arrays I wonder?), or loop through it and send in a certain order so that it can easily be reconstructed after it is sent.

you can send it though with a character to split it.

IE

12345,12345,12345,12345,12345,12345,

Then just use the split command at the other end to split it up then useing that info re-create the Array.

Wouldn't that basically quadruple the file size?

Here is a quick hack that shows how to move the 2D array to a 1D array and send it. There is no change in the size of the data sent.

It will also display the order in which the 2D array contents are stored in memory if you click the check box before clicking the Send button.
