[GENERAL/JAVA] Battle.net newline character

[dynobird]

What char(s) does BNet send to signify a new line? I figure it must send something to signify it (and its gotta be something the computer recognizes...) because when I do this to receive

while(true) {
    updateWindow.setNewText((char)in.read());
}


It makes a new line for different messages, even if they don't fill up the horizontal width of the display area.

I tried \n but it didn't work... I need to know the newline character so I can parse individual messages (like the message sent after a user pressed "enter") into Strings and then recognize commands within these Strings with the StringTokenizer class. Right now I am just doing what I showed above, reading char by char.

Depends on the protocol.  Binary -- there is no newline.  Text -- CRLF.

Well, I made some progress in the parsing, I now only get semi-cryptic messages on my display area =P
What I get is a bunch of boxes and every once in a while I get the messages I'm supposed to get like: "TALK usernamehere: hi" "LEAVE usernamehere" but inbetween these messages i get about a 1000 boxes that go all the way horizontally and then down like 20 lines vertically.

Here's my code:

    /* run method in receive thread */
    public void run() {
        int i;
        char[] charsIn;
        while (true) {
            i = 0;
            charsIn = new char[10000];
            try {
                /*
                newWindow.setNewText((char)in.read());
                newWindow.setVisible(true);
                */
                do {
                    charsIn[i] = (char)in.read();
                    i++;
                }
                while (charsIn[i-1] != '\n');
                String message = String.copyValueOf(charsIn);
                newWindow.setNewText(message);
            }
            catch (IOException e) {
                System.out.println(e);
            }
        }
    }

string[] IncomingData = IncomingInfo.Split("\r\n".ToCharArray());

That's what I did in C#. Not sure if that helps in Java.

Check out my C# .NET telnet connection. See if it helps you any.

On the note of the boxes, check what ASCII value they are and remove them!

10 and 13.

13 and 10*

\n\t

[iago]

13 and 10*

\n\t

\t is tab

It's \r\n, or 0d 0a, or 13 10

[rabbit]

13 and 10*

\n\t

I never said "respectively", indicating which value was for which character; I merely gave the two values.

Hehe, found that out for myself in writing some C++ code, where I tried to use a CRLF in a message box. Yeah, I meant \n.
