Sending chr(3) and chr(4)

[haZe]

OK. I know about chr(3) and chr(4) for chat bots but answer me two questions:
What IS chr(3) and chr(4) ? What do they represent?
Also, I'm pretty sure theres a special way of sending it or is it just like this:

Code Select Expand

sckBnet.SendData chr(3) chr(4)
[/color]
once again, help would be appreciated, and plz dont post unless your going to help

Make a simple output program, and view the output of chr(3) and chr(4).

[Yoni]

Use the string concatenation operator (&):

sckBnet.SendData Chr(3) & Chr(4)

[Arta]

The first byte is the Protocol byte. It lets bnet know you're going to be using the chat protocol. If you were using a game, you'd send 0x01 instead.

I forget what the second byte does.

^D turns off foreign echo.

[haZe]

so chr(4) turns off echo? ya lost me =/

[Ickypoopy]

Anytime you send something, it will echo it back to you.  SO if you send "blah" it will send you "blah"

So you send ^D to turn that off

[haZe]

sckBnet.senddata ^D

ok got it

[Noodlez]

no.
sckBnet.SendData Chr(3) & Chr(4)

[Yoni]

^D is shorthand notation for Ctrl-D, which is expressed by the byte Chr(4).

[haZe]

thx yoni now i understand perfectly

[Etheran]

I thought I'd just add that chr(3) is ^C.

[haZe]

but..etheran...

i thought chr(3) was 0x03..thats what arta made it sound like

[Noodlez]

chr(3) is 0x03. the post you quoted doesn't say otherwise

[Etheran]

chr(3) translates as ascii 3(00000011), which (the last time I checked) is ctrl-C.
