Without that buffer, it is brain-fucking: DIM sData AS String DIM pBuffer AS Pointer DIM iType AS Byte DIM iNumber AS Integer ... READ #$udp, sData, Lof($udp) pBuffer = Alloc(len(sData)) WRITE #pBuffer, sData, len(sData) READ #pBuffer, iType READ #pBuffer, iNumber ... Free(pBuffer) I will try to fix that in Gambas 3, then backporting all gb.net fixes to Gambas 2 once they are done.
