Sending Large String Data

Ok, Heres the story. I have all this string data stored in text1. How do I go about sending it over to the server in 200 character intervals using winsock?

VB Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
Dim sbuff As String
Dim i     As Integer
 
    For i = 1 To Len(Text1.Text) Step 200
        sbuff = Mid(Text1.Text, i, 200)
        Winsock1.SendData sbuff
        DoEvents
        'sleep 100
    Next i
   
 
End Sub

Thanks man!

Ok, Now I have another problem. Im using an identifier to tell it where to put the data and the identifier is "txtlog". My problem is that I cannot get "txtlog" to NOT show in frmTxtLog.Text1, so I see a bunch of random "txtlog" all over the place. How do I format it so that it does not show "txtlog"?

Thanks man!

Server -

VB Code:

Public Sub TxtLog()
frmMain.Text4 = frmTxtLog.Text1
Dim sbuff As String
Dim i As Integer
 
For i = 1 To Len(frmMain.Text4.Text) Step 200
sbuff = Mid(frmMain.Text4.Text, i, 200)
frmMain.Winsock1.SendData "txtlog" & sbuff
DoEvents
Next i
end sub

Client -

VB Code:

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(Index As Integer, ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Winsock1(Index).GetData data
    If Left$(data, 6) = "txtlog" Then TxtLog1
    End Sub
 
Public Sub TxtLog1()
If frmTxtLog.Text1 = "" Then
frmTxtLog.Text1 = Mid(data, 7, Len(data))
Else
frmTxtLog.Text1 = frmTxtLog.Text1 & vbNewLine & Mid(data, 7, Len(data))
End If
End Sub

please help me

not with you.

Whats wrong with me?

i mean i dont get your problem.

You have to put the data back together on the receiver end. Something like this

Code:

---

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Static allData As String
Dim x As String
Dim Lines
Dim i As Integer

Winsock1.GetData x
'put back together
allData = allData & x

'Now you can look for your markers
ipos = InStr(allData, "txtlog")
If ipos > 0 Then
'strip off line
    Lines = Split(allData, "txtlog")
    For i = 0 To UBound(Lines) - 2
        'do what you want with the line here
        Call txtLog(Lines(i))
    Next i
    'save last one
    allData = Lines(i)
End If


End Sub

    allData = Lines(i)

This will save all the data minus "txtlog" in the textbox?

Each call to txtLog gets passed a line of data with the txtlog.

That isnt working for me :(


How do I say put everything but the first 6 characters in the data into txtlog?

That isn't working for me :)

Please provide more information, either explain what is and is not happening, or upload a demo project(s) that we can work with.

Im trying to get the data and display it in the txtlog.text...but with every section i send...it puts the "txtlog" in front of the data I want to see. I dont want to see "txtlog" at the beginning of every chunk that it sends. Im thinking I can just tell it to put all the data..but the 6 first characters in the textbox.

Ok, heres the thing...
winsock1.getdata data
If the first 6 letters of data = txtlog then TxtLog

Public Sub TxtLog
frmmain.txtlog.text = data
end sub

pretty much theres it in short w/o the correct stuff. My problem is that I run the program and grab the data and it shows like this

txtlogajkls dhfasjflka sjflksjflskajlfsatxtlog alkjdflasjflkjdjlfsa djkftxtlogalksdjfl askjftxtlogalksdjfalksjf txtloglas sldfkakdsjfsaklj aksldfjalsfjsakfjsakfj as fatxtlog lkajsdfasjf lasf txtlogalksdjfalsjfd

Notice how there are random "txtlog"'s all over the place because that is in the data that the server sends. So I need to do something like.

winsock1.getdata data
If the first 6 letters of data = txtlog then TxtLog

Public Sub TxtLog
frmmain.txtlog.text = data - the first 6 characters at the beginning
end sub


Is this better explained?

OK, try this to see what I'm trying to do
Note: I've set the Multiline property of Text1 to True

Code:

---

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim inData As String
Dim splitData() As String
Dim i As Integer
   
    Text1 = ""
    inData = "txtlogajkls dhfasjflka sjflksjflskajlfsatxtlog alkjdflasjflkjdjlfsa djkftxtlogalksdjfl askjftxtlogalksdjfalksjf txtloglas sldfkakdsjfsaklj aksldfjalsfjsakfjsakfj as fatxtlog lkajsdfasjf lasf txtlogalksdjfalsjfd"
   
    splitData = Split(inData, "txtlog")
   
    For i = 0 To UBound(splitData) - 1
        If Len(Trim(splitData(i))) > 0 Then _
            Text1 = Text1 & Trim(splitData(i) & vbCrLf)
    Next i

End Sub

Will this work if the data is varying? Cuz obviously more is going to be added to the log.

this only depends on the fact that the strings are separated by your special marker, so if that doesn't vary then it will be fine.

Try it out and see is the best way to answer most of the questions you'll have.

Yeah, I just tried it..and it only works if that is exactly what I put into the txtbox, but as the data is always going to change, it doesnt work.

Why wont this work?

frmTxtLog.Text1 = frmTxtLog.Text1 & vbNewLine & data
frmTxtLog.Text1 = Mid(frmTxtLog.Text1, 7, Len(frmTxtLog.Text1) - 6)

show me a string that does not work in the method I showed you and I'll fix it.

Its the fact that I want to compile it some time and I dont want to have to go and change everything everytime i get new data. Can I just do this with yours?



Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim inData As String
Dim splitData() As String
Dim i As Integer

Text1 = ""
inData = text1 <========= right here

splitData = Split(inData, "txtlog")

For i = 0 To UBound(splitData) - 1
If Len(Trim(splitData(i))) > 0 Then _
Text1 = Text1 & Trim(splitData(i) & vbCrLf)
Next i

End Sub

Yes,

This is what I'm trying to tell you that this method works on all data as long as your marker is there to separate the data.

Show me some data where it is not working.

Code:

---

Public Sub txtlog1()

Dim inData As String
Dim splitData() As String
Dim i As Integer

frmTxtLog.Text1 = data
inData = frmTxtLog.Text1

splitData = Split(inData, "txtlog")

For i = 0 To UBound(splitData) - 1
If Len(Trim(splitData(i))) > 0 Then _
frmTxtLog.Text1 = frmTxtLog.Text1 & Trim(splitData(i) & vbCrLf)
Next i

End Sub

---

What am I doing wrong?

You'll have to show me how you are calling this routine.
what is data?

What input are you using and what output do you get that you don't like?

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Winsock1.GetData data
If Left$(data, 6) = "txtlog" Then txtlog1
End Sub

Thats what data is.
