Re: Terminating Zero Problem

That still doesn't work, it prints the first 5 characters, but not the following characters.

Currently it prints
(83)(65)(77)(80)(127)
which means:
SAMP and the 127 is the start from my local IP, which should be (127)(0)(0)(1).

Re: Terminating Zero Problem

Then your problem is the buffer thats being passed to it. I does
not contain what you want.

I assume that the problem is here:
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. bytesReceived = recvfrom(incs.cl, buffer, 1024, 0, (struct sockaddr *)&clSockAddr, &fromlen);

Check if bytesReceived is the correct number of bytes you want to recieve.

Sorry, i shouldn't be trying to answer this-I'm just confusing things with my nonsense responses.

Re: Terminating Zero Problem

when I do
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. void filter(char* packet)
  2. {
  3.  
  4. 	for(int i = 0; i < 8; i++)
  5. 	{
  6. 		cout << "(" << int(*packet) << ")";
  7. 		packet++;
  8. 	}
  9.  
  10. 	cout << endl;
  11. }

It print's
(83)(65)(77)(80)(127)(0)(0)(1)
though, so that would mean the buffer contains that information right?

Re: Terminating Zero Problem

"will evaluate to false when packet[i]==0"

Yes thats correct. The 0 identifies the end of the string. Any further
then its junk.

Re: Terminating Zero Problem

When I cout the receivedBytes I get this number 4294967295. Would this be right?

Sorry, I didn't understand the original post at first. I shouldn't have posted anything.

Thats weird. Try cout<<buffer before the function call , and in the function as well. See if they are the same.

Re: Terminating Zero Problem

I think you're all missing the point. Sockets doesn't send immediately.

Send Packet 5
Send Packet 8
Send Packet 7

It won't necessarily arrive as three packets 5 then 8 then 7 bytes in length.
It may arrive as 2 packets 5+8=13 and 7
or 5 and 15
or a single packet 20 bytes long!
The packet is sent on an interval basis, not immediately so sometimes packets get combined as a single packet of multiple messages!

So instead!
C++ Syntax (Toggle Plain Text)
  1. void filter( char* packet, uint nPacketLen )
  2. {
  3.     while (nPacketLen)
  4.     {
  5.          while ((*packet != 0) && nPacketLen)
  6.         {
  7. 	cout << "(" << int(*packet) << ")";
  8.                packet++;
  9.                nPacketLen--
  10.        }
  11.         cout << endl;
  12.    }
  13. }
