WinSock waiting question?

[tommy19]

Howdy,
I am wondering if the is a way, when you read the incoming data from a winsock connection, to automatically use the senddata function, when a particular string is present. ie, I want my program to automatically loginto a unix box via winsock, If I senddata, immediately, then the connection is too quick and doesn't recieve the send, Can I trigger off the incoming string? And how would I do that?
Thanks in advance!! ;p

You can use a timer to delay your response for a half-second or so. This might give your Unix box time to respond. You can find the timer in the toolbox -- just drop it on a form. Set the Interval to 500 (500 milliseconds is .5 seconds). Max value is 32767 (32.767 seconds). When the timer expires it raises it's Timer event. In that event you should turn the Enabled property off so the timer only fires once.
