Re: [Tutor] Socket Programming

Hi Joe you can use 1 and just send 'Hi!' as long as something else isn't likely to be sent at the same time. It will just read what is in that socket when you call it so if something else that you don't want is there just behind what you're after then you could end up with that as well.On 8/1/0
