Do you mean that you could have pieces of multiple transmissions in
the same DataAvailable event? How would you tell them apart?
You will still get the data in the same sequence that you wrote it, but
you may have more than one seperator available in the datavailable event.
So let's say you do:
socket.write("Hello") + seperator
socket.write("World") + seperator
socket.write("It's me!) + seperator
You might get:
Hello + seperator + World + seperator + It's
and then in the next fire of the event you might get:
me! + seperator
So you need to loop through the available data and look for seperators.
For each seperator you find, you have the end of one message. If you get
an incomplete message, you can choose to leave it in the buffer until
the next fire. It may look something like this:
i = instr(me.lookahead,seperator)
while i > 0
if i > 0 then
s = me.read(i)
//s now has a complete message + seperator
end if
i = instr(me.lookahead,seperator)
wend
