Hi all, first post, so please be nice. I've got a simple sockets server running
$local = IO::Socket::INET->new(Proto=>"tcp", LocalPort=>"23", Listen=>"1") or die "Can't open Socket\n"; $remote = $local->accept; $remote->autoflush(1); I'm reading input like so... while (<$remote>) {print; } close $local, $remote A hardware device connects to the socket and sends characters (barcode scanner output, variable length, alphanumeric) followed by '/r' My (very basic) understanding is that if it used '/r/n' my code would work. I don't have much control over the hardware side of things. And as you can probably see I'm not too clued up on the software side of things. tia /ciaran. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
