DataArrival

[Archon]

Hello; I hope some-one can help me.


I am coding a program that uses Winsock to retrieve the data of a Server.

Private Sub Winsock1_DataArrival(ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
    Dim YuBytes As Long
    Winsock1.GetData YUBytes
    firstbyte = Hex(AscB(YUBytes)) 'convert it to Hex
    sClMessage = "Received data " & firstbyte & " from " & Winsock1.RemoteHostIP
    List1.AddItem (sClMessage)
    Select Case firstbyte
    Case "35"
     Winsock1.SendData chr(0) & chr(0) & chr(0)
    Case "34"
     Here is where the problem comes in the server sends me 3 separate pockets with the same firstbyte as "34", the information I need to retrieve is not on the first packet but on the second one, Y want to retrieve a character that comes on the "middle" packet not on the first-one.

it had to be something like:

Case "34"
don't get the first packet only the second one. And look for the character on a specific area, and retrieve that character. But i don't know how to do it. I tried and tried but when I use the
Mid() function It searches the first packet only.

Please help

You could have a global boolean firstPacketIn...so you could do something like this:

...
Case 34:
    If firstPacketIn Then
        ' Deal with the second packet
    Else
        firstPacketIn = True ' This must be the first packet, so flag for the second
    End If
...

Hope this helps!
