Here is what I thought when I have written that: - Gambas has now structures. - Structures contents can be written to a stream by the WRITE instruction. - Streams have support for endianness. Now, when you write something to an UDP socket, one writes equals one message, so you cannot send a message with successives writes. Hopefully, when writing a structure, a temporary string is used for storing the intermediate writes, and so only one write is finally done to the UDP socket. So, please, can you try that? Instead of using strings, create one structure for each message you send to your UDP socket, fill the structure with the message contents, and use the WRITE instruction to send the structure to it. And tell me if it works! :-) And if you finally find it cleaner or not. Thanks in advance.
