Socket - send message

12 New Member
Hi,
I would like to write a script which will connect to a server. I know I have to set up a tcp connection and after that send a registration message which consists of tag, length and value fields. All fields are bytes.
I have found a package "struct" which translates string to binary format but unfortunatelly I do not see appropriate format.

How can i do that?

Thanks in advance for any help/hints!

Best regards,

Hi,
Ok, I found it :-)

Let's say i want to send a message with following bytes "00201":

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. import struct
  2.  
  3. msg = struct.pack("!bbbbb", 0, 0, 2, 0, 1)
  4. mySocket.send(msg)
  5.  
  6. ...
  7.  
  8.  
and later in order to unpack a received message:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. unpacked_msg = struct.unpack
That should work ;-)

Best regards,
