hmm. I get a segmentation fault somewhere in here:

Code:

	while(1){
		memset(buf, '\0', MAXDATASIZE-1);
		if ((numbytes=recv(sockfd, buf, MAXDATASIZE-1, 0)) == -1) {
        		perror("recv");
        		exit(1);
        	}
        	buf[numbytes] = '\0';
		if (recvParser(buf, sockfd) == 0) {
			printf("%s",buf);
		}
	}

Code:

int recvParser(char buf[MAXDATASIZE], int sockfd) {
	char temp[MAXDATASIZE];
	char *bpt;
	temp[0] = '\0';
	if (buf[0] != ':') {
		bpt = strchr(buf, ':');
		if (strstr(buf, "PING") >= 0) {
			cout << bpt << endl;
			strcat(temp, "PONG ");
			strcat(temp, bpt);
			if (send(gSock_fd, temp, strlen(temp)-1, 0) == -1) {
				perror("send");
				return -1;
			}
		}
	} else {
	}
	return 0;
}

Yup, thats what i'm writing. It'll hopefully be able to be a bot too. Right now, i'm writing the portion that watches for pings. i got that change made, but now my problem is that i can't figure out how to separate the input into separate lines (because all of my strncmps rely on having the real start of the line). Any ideas or insight? thanks.

here is my code (and yes, pings etc don't start with :, only messages start with :)

Code:

int recvParser(char buf[MAXDATASIZE], int sockfd) {
	char temp[MAXDATASIZE+256];
	char *bpt;
	temp[0] = '\0';
	if (buf[0] != ':') {
		bpt = strchr(buf, ':');
		if (bpt) {
			if ((strstr(buf, "PING") - buf) == 0) {
				cout << bpt << endl;
				strcat(temp, "PONG ");
				strcat(temp, bpt);
				if (send(gSock_fd, temp, strlen(temp)-1, 0) == -1) {
					perror("send");
					return -1;
				}
			}
		}
	} else {
	}
	return 0;
}

I want to see if the PING is at the beginning of the line. How would I do this then? Strncat? (If this is so, i would like the syntax... i can't find it)
Thanks,

Howabout this:

Code:

int recvParser(char buf[MAXDATASIZE], int sockfd) {
	char temp[MAXDATASIZE+256];
	char *bpt;
	temp[0] = '\0';
	if (buf[0] != ':') {
		bpt = (strchr(buf, ':') + 1);
		if (bpt) {
			if (strncmp(buf, "PING", 4) == 0) {
				strcat(temp, "PONG ");
				strcat(temp, bpt);
				if (send(gSock_fd, temp, strlen(temp)-1, 0) == -1) {
					perror("send");
					return -1;
				}
			}
		}
	} else {
	}
	return 0;
}

Thats why I have this:

Code:

	while(1){
		memset(buf, '\0', MAXDATASIZE-1);
		if ((numbytes=recv(sockfd, buf, MAXDATASIZE-2, 0)) == -1) {
        		perror("recv");
        		exit(1);
        	}
		p1 = buf;
        	buf[numbytes] = '\n';
        	buf[numbytes+1] = '\0';
		while( ( p2 = strchr( p1, '\n' ) ) ) {
			*p2 =0;
			++p2;
			recvParser(p1, sockfd);
			p1 = p2;
		}
		
	}

And, my next problem is figuring out how to paste together lines that ARENT whole. That could get tricky.

I found these functions from when i used to do windows socket programming, and was wondering if they would still work on linux:

Code:

int recvLine(SOCKET client, char reply[MAXDATASIZE]){

   for (int i = 0; i<MAXDATASIZE; i++){

     char ch[1];

     if (recv(client,ch,sizeof(ch),0) == 0) return 0;

     if (ch[0] == '\r') continue;

     if (ch[0] == '\n') break;

     reply[i]=ch[0];

     //cout << (int)ch[0] << endl;

     reply[i+1]='\0';

   }

   return 1;

}



int sendLine(SOCKET client, char *buf, bool endLine = false){

    int total = 0;        // how many bytes we've sent

    int bytesleft = strlen(buf); // how many we have left to send

    int len = bytesleft;

    int n;



    while(total < len) {

        n = send(client, buf+total, bytesleft, 0);

        if (n == -1) { break; }

        total += n;

        bytesleft -= n;

    }

    if (endLine && n != -1){

      send(client, "\n\r", sizeof("\n\r"), 0);

    }

    return n==-1?len:-1; // return -1 on failure, len on success

}

Nevermind. I got them to work. Thanks for your help. I'll start a new thread if anything else comes up.
