Hi Guys,

I've been racking my brains for this one for nearly the whole day, any help would be appreciated.

I'm trying to send a string from 1 PC to another PC

The problems:
- the string isn't the same on the server as it is on the destination pc. (so using send_string is out)
- using send_data_id, i either can't get it to send or get it to receive, what i check before i send is correct, but that doesn't mean it's sending it correctly
- using char[20] (as shown in the manual) makes the string irritrevable after setting it,
- using str_cpy will sometimes crash either the host or the client
- using str = str sometimes returns nothing
- using either _chr or _str both yield no differences as most of these functions are now automatic for detecting char or str
= the list goes on, but if you're still reading you're probably bored of it tongue

so what i'm looking for:
- ideally i want to be able to send a string using send_data_to or send_data_id using the following struct

Code:
typedef struct DATA
   var id;
   int type;
   STRING* name; //or char* or char[20] etc... whatever is required
if someone can point me in the right direction, i'll be in your debt!

Many thanks
