TCP - User Defined Types

[Niraj Bhatt]

I am able to send a TCP packet With user Defined type like this:
TCP PRINT hSock, MyPc;

Where MyPc is a userdefined type Which has
a As Word
b AS Word
c As Long
Now I am getting the responce with the same format... How can I recive it.
and cast it in the Userdefined Type. I tried it without success.
Is there any way to convet or anthing.

Greatful if anyone can help.

If the TCP RECV function returns a string that you call Buffer$ and you want to place the data into a UDT that you call MyUDT, simply do this...

LSET MyUDT = Buffer$

It would be a good idea to check the length of Buffer$ first, to make sure that it will completely fill MyUDT. If it isn't long enough, PowerBASIC will fill the remaining bytes of MyUDT with CHR$(32), not CHR$(0), and that can result in some bizarre numeric values. A good safety measure would be this...

LSET MyUDT = Buffer$ + STRING$(LEN(MyUDT),0)
