[quddusaliquddus]

Hi all :D,
I have run the following program (es explained at the link):

Now I get the message text in the chat window but with trailing square characters after it.

Can someone help me remove these please?

Thanks

Private Sub getMessage()
For infiniteCounter = 1 To 2
infiniteCounter = 1
serverStream = clientSocket.GetStream()
Dim buffSize As Integer
Dim inStream(10024) As Byte
buffSize = clientSocket.ReceiveBufferSize
Dim dataLength As Integer = serverStream.Read(inStream, 0, buffSize)
Dim returndata As String = _
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(inStream, 0, dataLength)
readData = "" + returndata
msg()
Next
End Sub

WOW that is one of the most weird infinite loops I have ever seen

WOW that is one of the most weird infinite loops I have ever seen"weird" isn't the half of it. I just want to point out that that code wasn't mine. I was just modifying the code that the OP got from another source. That loop is downright shameful.
