winsock

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

What?! :confused:

Woka

What I am confused as to what you are talking about???

*Head rolls off and bounces on floor

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

hmmm i will have to explan better give me some time to think out a way to descibe it and i will get back to u

ok I connect to a chat server using Winsock it sends to me this

^&chr(0)Chr(1)8"!X:hello

so I send the same back

then it sends me a request for my password

*&^£$%Chr(7)Chr(0)Chr(1)^password=send

so I send

*&^£$%Chr(7)Chr(0)Chr(1)^password=my password

I have found out by doing tests that the bit at the begging is the vb6 version of VbByteTotal
I would like to convert that bit of info at the begging into the correct readable type rafter than all the Chr(0)^&*"£Chr(1)
if you could help it would be very helpful

the server i am connecting to is not mine and is a big vioce chat program so i do not have the souce for the server

Maybe its just me but it looks encoded to me :) :) :)

Do you actually need the value????


you get a bytes value back from the winsock control itself ;) ;)

yes it will also help me split the data up so i dont get megerd data from the winsock so the server sends me

^&chr(0)$£"nickname=john%£"d£*chr(1)admin=0

i want it to show like this


^&chr(0)$£"nickname=john
%£"d£*chr(1)admin=0

but is the beging is diffrent every time i cant so mabey if i turn it into a vaule i can split the strings properly and i need to know cus the stings i send need to have the same at the font of them

e.g.

if ^&chr(0) represented the value 5 then i could only send a string of 5 "12345"

hmmmmmmm :confused: :confused: :confused:

illl think about it ;)
