About read data.

//Read data. var data=socket.read(1024*10)

Here, I don`t know the length of data, how can I write the parameter instead of '1024*10' ?

Thanks very much !

Repeat the read until you get fewer bytes than the size of the buffer you gave and collect the result by appending to an array.

@segabor how can we check the buffer size? can u give a sample code?

[segabor]

@vineethvijayan you just give size supposed to be enough large and the server will keep collecting data received over UDP until the end of stream or when it reaches the limit.

In my case 1024 bytes limit covered all my needs. Here's the snippet from my code I used to receive OSC packets.

    let server = UDPServer(addr: "127.0.0.1", port: 8000)

    while true {
        let (data,remoteip,_)=server.recv(1024)
        print("... receiving data from \(remoteip)")
        if let d=data {
            print("Packet received \(d)")
        }
        server.close()
        break
    }

let client:TCPClient = TCPClient(addr: "myip", port: 8888)
        let (success, errmsg) = client.connect(timeout: 10)

        if success {
            var data = [UInt8]()
            while true {
                let data1 = client.read(1024*10)
                data = data + data1!
                if data1?.count < 1024*10 {
                    print(data1)

                    var endMarker = NSData(bytes: data as [UInt8], length: data.count)

                    let paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(.DocumentDirectory, .UserDomainMask, true)
                    let documentsDirectory = paths[0] as! String
                    let fileName = "\(documentsDirectory)/1.mp4"

                    endMarker.writeToFile(fileName, atomically: false)

                    client.close()
                    break
                }
            }
        } else {
            print(errmsg)
        }

I am trying to send a file "1.mp4" from a socket server(mac) and it only receives (in phone) a portion of it (just a 2 kb file) and stops and I doing it wrong?

Tried the same with a small file txt files and it saves perfectly

Sorry for the delayed response

hello. client.read(1024*10) return nil? How can i solve that?
