Well I have taken a break from working on my text editor. So I decided to play around with the socket functions. I was trying to open a socket to a text game so that I could read the login page I can get it in to the text field and the page will show up in the field but it will have a little square box at the left hand side of the field on every line. How would I get rid of that? This is what I did to connect to the socket ....
I think the little square is an ASCII number that doesn't actually have a corresponding alpha numeric character. When getting data from different systems that have different line delimiters and such-like, you get this sort of thing. Probably the easiest solution would be to insert a loop to remove them after "put it into tVar":
on mouseUp
open socket "theseahaven.com:5500"
read from socket "theseahaven.com:5500" for -1
put it into tvar
repeat for each line L in tVar
put char 2 to -1 of L & cr after nVar
end repeat
delete last char of nVar --- clear trailing cr
put nVar in to field 1
end mouseUp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
