Question TCP Programming problems with 'recv'

Hey,

I am learning to program a TCP server and managed to get it up and running (I am using Windows 98SE).

I can use the send function to send information to the client and I can use the recv function to ask the user to pass information through, but when I do so it only allows the client to send one character and then adds a load of jibberish symbols to the string.

I think the problem may have to do with the flags (I am using 0), but this is what I have:

recv(ServerDesc,ClientInput,30,0);

Could someone please tell me what I am doing wrong, or if there is an easier way to do what I'm trying to do? Any advice would be fantastic.

Paul

NAME
Net::recv - Recieve data from a connection. SYNOPSIS
String recv( NetHandle h, Int maxlen=-1, Int timeout=0 ) ARGUMENTS
h The connection maxlen The maximum number of bytes to read (or unlimited, if negative). For TLS connections, this is always unlimited. Note that if the data to be received contains multi-byte characters, care must be taken to avoid ending receiving part-way through a multi-byte character. timeout The number of seconds to wait without input before timing out. The default is zero. For TLS connections, this parameter is ignored. DESCRIPTION
