parsing

[nabeels786]

the attached text file has the protocol for the server.

im trying to get it to work in my code, but all of the messageboxes show up as blank when i run it, here to code:

CString CGameOrganizerDlg::Read() {
	CString tot;
	bool done=false;
	char *tmp=NULL;

	while(!done){	
		sock.Receive(tmp,1);
		//MessageBox(tmp,"test");
		if(tmp=='\x00'){
			done=true;
		} else{
			tot+=tmp;
		}
	}	

	//MessageBox((LPCSTR)tot,"total");
	return tot;
}
bool CGameOrganizerDlg::Query(GameInfo &ginfo, char *server_name, char type){
	char *buffer=new char[6];
	char *send=new char[];

	unsigned short port = this->GetPort(server_name);	//get port
	CString servern = server_name;						//server name(either ip or hostname)
	CString serverinfo[6];								//server properties

	int loc;
	if((loc=servern.Find(';',0)) != -1){
		servern=servern.Left(servern.GetLength() - loc);
	}

	sock.Create(port,SOCK_DGRAM,servern);
	sock.Connect(servern,port);

	Sleep(200);
	
	//request for info would go here ---|
	send = "ÿÿÿÿinfo\x00";
	sock.Send(send,(int)strlen(send));
	Sleep(200);
	sock.Receive(buffer,4);	
	for(int i=0;i<6;i++){
		serverinfo[i]=this->Read();
		MessageBox((LPCSTR)serverinfo[i],(LPCSTR)serverinfo[i]);
	}

	return true;

feel free to comment on ineffeciency etc, its my first serious program
