Hi everyone: I posted here a couple days ago looking for some help creating a Telnet-based chat server. You guys pointed me to Twisted, which has solved most of my issues.
However, what I want to do is analyze strings received for keywords such as 'listcmds' and have the server return something to the client. I know how to do that part, at least. The issue is, when I use clients like PuTTY, it returns a lot of what appears to be formatting (e.g. if I typed Hello, it would return "\xff \xfb\x1f\xff\ xfb \xff\xfb\x18\xff\xfb'\xff\xfd\x01\xff\xfb\x03\xff\xfd\x03Hello".) How would I go about filtering this stuff out of the strings? The thing is too, if I use other Telnet programs like Microsoft Telnet, they don't have this formatting, so I want to be able to recognize if it does have this formatting and act based on if it does or if it doesn't. Any help is appreciated, I know I'm probably asking too many questions already :) Thanks everyone. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
