extra line breaks from recv?

Extra line breaks appear to be added to my message that is generated from characters which are in turn passed from recv(). It is fine for the first message, when you press enter for the first time, then the messages have characters seperated by these linebreaks. Ohwell, if anyone can help, i'd much appreciate, if you dont understand, please do say I i'll attempt to clarify.

Code:

---

void CConnectionManager::CheckNewMessages() {       
        sUserSock * pUser = m_pUserList->pNext;

        char character[MAX_CLIENT_MESSAGE_SIZE];
        string message;

        while (pUser != NULL) { // loop through users
                memset(character, 0x0, MAX_CLIENT_MESSAGE_SIZE);
                while (recv(pUser->sUser, character, sizeof(character), 0) > 0) {

                        printf( "ascii code: %i \n\r", (int)character[0] );


                        switch ((int)character[0]) {
                                case 13:
                                        cout << "message: " << message << endl;
                                        HandleMessage( message, pUser->nPlayerId );
                                        message = "";
                                        break;

                                default:
                                        message += character;
                                        cout << pUser->nPlayerId << " | message: " << message << endl;
                                        break;

                        }

                }

                pUser = pUser->pNext;
        }
}

Well for starters, I think you need to null terminate the data you receive:

Code:

---

int bytes_recv = recv(pUser->sUser, character, sizeof(character);
character[bytes_recv]='\0';

---

I'm not sure that will fix the problem though. It might help to see what your send code looks like

With a couple of modifications to that code, it worked fine, many thanks :)

Except if recv actually fills the buffer, this results in writing outside the array bounds
Also, check the result isn't negative either (an error from recv)

int bytes_recv = recv(pUser->sUser, character, sizeof(character)-1) ;
if ( bytes_recv > 0 ) character[bytes_recv]='\0';
