receiving multiple strings with getdata

[Booooze]

hey all

im having a lil problem. how can i use winsock, and send multiple peices of data, and receive multiple peices of data, and in the end be able to match them up? im using a clint/server.
i can single senddata and receive it, but cant send mulitple peices and receive it. like so

data1 = Text2.Text
data2 = Text4.Text
data3 = Text3.Text
data4 = Text1.Text
Form1.Winsock1.SendData "box"
DoEvents
Form1.Winsock1.SendData data1
DoEvents
Form1.Winsock1.SendData data2
DoEvents
Form1.Winsock1.SendData data3
DoEvents
Form1.Winsock1.SendData data4


and ion the server...

Winsock1.GetData data1

DoEvents
Winsock1.GetData data2
DoEvents
Winsock1.GetData data3
DoEvents
Winsock1.GetData data4
DoEvents
Winsock1.GetData data5
DoEvents
Winsock1.GetData data6
DoEvents
rdata1 = data1
rdata2 = data2
rdata3 = data3
rdata4 = data4
rdata5 = data5

the doevents doesnt work, and i tried the & sign, and & sign...
any ideas?
thx

You could mark your data differently, thereby making in recognisable - so in your WS_DataArrival, you just need one GetData and a little string parsing function to determine what data was sent - get it ?

Cheers!
