Re: Can I read a line from a socket without the socket sending \n?by merlyn (Sage) |

The hardest part about sockets is knowing when to stop reading. You can invent a line-oriented protocol, or use some other indication (like a byte count followed by that many bytes).
Knowing what to use is an art call, decided by experience and study of the prior art. Good luck in your quest!
