I doing this server and client program. The sever has to output to the client.
I cout outBuf to server:
outBuf: cylinder: 5 Sector: 5
at the client end:
> I -- this is input
cylinder: 5 Sector: --this is all that gets printed.
> enter I again and hit enter
5
>
as you can see when i hit return, then the rest of the stream gets printed. can someone help me fix this]?
thanks
drjay
the when i hit enter again, the 5 gets printed.
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
outBuf: cylinder: 5 Sector: 5
at the client end:
> I -- this is input
cylinder: 5 Sector: --this is all that gets printed.
> enter I again and hit enter
5

I can't see the link with 
...
Edit:: What do you mean with "sever", it's an English verb, but I think you meant the noun "server" ...
sprintf , but if you want to know more about it, just google on it (e.g.:http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/c...stdio/sprintf/) ...Edit:: What do you mean with "sever", it's an English verb, but I think you meant the noun "server"

its server not sever... that was a typo.
char outBuf[128];
int cylinders, sectors, client_sockfd;
sprintf ( outBuf, "cylinder: %d Sector: %d\n", cylinders, sectors );
write ( client_sockfd, outBuf, strlen ( outBuf ) + 1 )
This doesn't write the entire outBuf to the client's screen.
How question is how do I to fix it? anyone???

Can you please provide me with some more information about what your program actually does ?

I actually fixed it. The fault was at the client end. worked on it for about 5 hours!
The read function in the client read in a char array of a fixed size. when the write from the server is bigger than that, it didnt display the whole thing.
I thought it was something wrong with at the server end and tried a million things. eventually i gave up and move on to implementing other requirements and while fixing something else i found out that bug!
thanks you all your responses...
