Also learning about Listen

[Doug Stewart]

I am also trying listen.
Windows XP and C# and Octave 2.1.72

I have got commands going to Octave working, But am having trouble 
getting results back from Octave.
Here is the c# code

             // Encode the data string into a byte array.
              byte[] msg = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("!!!x");
               // Send the data through the socket.
               int bytesSent = sender.Send(msg);
              // make the size of the command
               char[] gg = new char[2];
               gg[0] =(char)0;
               gg[1] = (char)10;
               msg=Encoding.BigEndianUnicode.GetBytes(gg);
               // send the size
                bytesSent = sender.Send(msg);
               // now send the command
               byte[] msg1 = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("c=ones(3) ");
                bytesSent = sender.Send(msg1);



  // now try to get resuls back from Octave            

                // Encode the data string into a byte array.
                msg = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("!!!x");

                // Send the data through the socket.
               bytesSent = sender.Send(msg);

                 gg = new char[2];
                gg[0] = (char)0;
                gg[1] = (char)11;
                //    gg[2] = (char)0;
                //  gg[3] = (char)0;
                msg = Encoding.BigEndianUnicode.GetBytes(gg);
                bytesSent = sender.Send(msg);

                // Encode the data string into a byte array.
               msg = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("send('c',c)  ");

                // Send the data through the socket.
                 bytesSent = sender.Send(msg);


// what should I get back????


               // Receive the response from the remote device.
               int bytesRec = sender.Receive(bytes);
               Console.WriteLine("Echoed test = {0}",
                   Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes,0,bytesRec));



My question is:

What should I expect to see comming back when I send a 'send" command????
What I do see back is    !!!m
should i now read a number and then a string?


here is the Octave results
octave:1> listen(22000,'192.168.1.100','debug')
