Socket programming

[sritejv]

Hi,
I a reading line by line from a file and sending it over a TCP connection to a destination.

However at the receiver i a m receiving multiple lines because of the extra space in the buffer.

SENDER:
while(fgets(name,70,fp)!=NULL) //sending one line at a time
{
printf("%s frame sent\n",name);
c=send(s,name,strlen(name),0);
}

AT THE RECEIVER:
.
.
.
len=recv(i,buf,70,0);(keeps looping as long as there is data to be received)

I am receiving multiple lines at the same time due to the excess buffer capacity.

How do i receive what is been sent at a time?

Yes i Have used select.(but no issues there it works fine).but i have solved the problem
this is my new 'send'
c=send(s,name,strlen(name)+1,0);
(my friend suggest the +1 after the strlen.i dontknow why it worked.

can someone please explain?
