hey

i currently have a small program that uses 4 winsocks, and i obviously want it to be less than that, i was hoping someone could help me, i have seen instr() seems like a good thing to do but i am not sure how to do this and i have not found very useful posts or tutorial's on how to do this.

is it possible to send data in a string seperated by a chr or 2 and then the next bit of data etc and with that at the other end can it read a particular part of the string? say you have 3 parts seperated can it read (this is random order):

part 3 then 1 then 2?

if you know of a good tutorial or can help me out with this that would be great thanks!
