Winsock Problem

[GDX]

Guys i have a problem, i am working on a telnet server using the MS Winsock Control, take a look at this code...

Private Sub WinsockServer_DataArrival(Index As Integer, ByVal bytesTotal As Long)
Dim indata As String
indy = Index
WinsockServer(indy).GetData indata
If indata = "help" Then
If WinsockServer(indy).State = 7 Then
WinsockServer(indy).SendData ("In order to use blah blah&quot
End If
End If

You see the problem is when people using a telnet client it sends data to the server after each keystroke so i can't really read when they type "help" because it only reads as h then e then l then p and so on, any ideas on how to do this? I remeber i fixed this in the past but i forgot what I did

You can try reading when the number of bytes recibed, ex

Private Sock_DataArrival(...=

if bytestotal = 4 then

read

end if

or

Sock.PeekData

This don't delete the data from the buffer then you can read until you want and use a GetData to clean a buffer

If this this don't help you let me know

That works but thats only half my problem how do i detect when the user on the telnet client hits enter?
