Are there any characters that cannot be sent thru a string?

for example the first characters ( about 31) on the ascii chart

Null
Start of Heading
Start of Text
Line feed
Escape


Im trying to find the source of the error when i use darknet to send my information after i compress it.

You probably wouldn't want to use strings fro that anyway.

I would use a memblock to transfer the data, then do whatever you need to with it from there.

You can send anything, the packet is never actually read by DarkNet.

The exception is TCP_POSTFIX. If you use the postfix packet within your packet then this will be seen as a standard postfix indicating the end of a packet.

Also if you want to debug compression you don't need to transfer any data, you can just add the data and then set the cursor to 0 and read.

@Parry,

Thanks for the information, it should help me find the problem quicker.

Its something I wrote myself. I designed my comunications between my server and client to use only a small amount of characters, mostly numbers, so compressing it is easy enough since there are 256 total characters possible.
