if you're sending something to a server you can be sure the server is expecting you to tell it how many bytes you are going to be sending it. otherwise it won't know when to quit accepting data from you. read the server documentation to find out the format in which you send it data.Originally Posted by Elyubarov
i seem to have GCC 3.3.4
But how do i start it?
I dont have a menu for it or anything.
there is no documentation, I making a client for a program, I packet sniffed. Anyways, the string was always there its just when i put it in a MessageBox() the MessageBox didnt read past the NULL(0x00), but when i sent it through a socket it was ok, i just could not use strlen(), one more question: does sprintf() stop at the NULL as well, because i am having trouble with it.
>does sprintf() stop at the NULL as well
Yes. Most functions that expect a C-style string will use the null character as a sentinel. If it's not there then you risk undefined behavior.
My best code is written with the delete key.
You can work with your strings manually, char by char. It requires a lot of loops, etc.. but once you've done a couple of simple operations it's really quite easy. the send() function in Winsock (and I imagine the same is true in other APIs), a buffer is sent as a parameter, with an integer telling the length - that's the type of string we've been telling you to use for quite some time now. Depending on where you get this string from originally, if you use this type of string all along, strlen() is probably not necessary.
