This topic belongs in the DISORGANIZED RANT forum... oh wait, we don't have one of those here. I wonder why that is?

Doesn't work needs to be ripped out of the troubleshooting lexicon. It means that what you tried did not produce the results you expected. It begs the questions 1) what did you try?, 2) what did you expect? and 3) what happened instead?

Reproducer: a small (the smallest?) piece of stand-alone code that demonstrates your trouble

That's coz this DISORGANISED RANT brings up a matter which either is on the DISORGANISED RANT forum or just plain wasn't brought up till now..

So, as I was disorganisedly saying:

1. WHO DO I TALK TO IN ORDER TO CORRECT THE TYPOS IN THE MANUAL

and

2. Everyone give a round of applause..It's the UDP function birthday..it's been 1 month since the manual wasn't updated with the examples needed by the average joe..Why is that?Wait..I forgot..this isn't the "CRITICISE THE DEMI-GODS" forum..I wonder why that is?

I have the utmost respect for what you people do daily to keep AutoIt "alive"..and you're doing a 'mostly' good job..I'm simply pointing out that this aspect has been (knowingly or unknowingly) left out..Simply saying..DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT!

Organised enough?Hope so..

This is your chance to make the manual even better! :evil:

Take a look at the TCP examples and adapt them to the UDP functions. The function calls a quite similar.

Well..I've tried to use them a few times..but they don't seem to work..It could be because I have no second box I can use to put a server on..But most likely they should work with localhost, no?:)..

I'll give it a shot..if no one here has done this till now, it spells "trouble" to me..:evil:..

UDPBind returns with an error on my system. @error = 10093 (WSANOTINITIALISED). I guess the guy how developed the UDP functions should have a look.

$g_IP = "127.0.0.1"

; Create a Listening "SOCKET"
;==============================================
$ConnectedSocket = UDPBind($g_IP, 65432)
If $ConnectedSocket = -1 Then 
   msgbox(0,"UDP Error", "Error: " & @error)
   Exit
endif

I was about to test, however, I get a little solid brick wall when trying to create a simple UDP server

$uServer = UDPBind("192.168.0.3", 65530)
MsgBox(0, "test", $uServer & @CRLF & @AutoItVersion)
If $uServer = -1 Then Exit

running 3.1.1.50, I'll post a duplicate in the Bug forum

the error I received ("@error = 10093 (WSANOTINITIALISED") indicates, that the function WSAStartup was not be called in advance of calling bind().

From MSDN: Winsock Functions

"The WSAStartup function must be the first Windows Sockets function called by an application or DLL. It allows an application or DLL to specify the version of Windows Sockets required and retrieve details of the specific Windows Sockets implementation. The application or DLL can only issue further Windows Sockets functions after successfully calling WSAStartup"

See also error codes of function bind() and sample code on the same page. MSDN Winsock Functions - bind(). Sample is for TCP. For UDP use SOCK_DGRAM and IPPROTO_UDP in function socket().

so use TCPStartup it is not a logical name but it is doing exactly that. :) Edited by jpm

Yup, TCPStartup() works for the UDP server. netstat -na returns: UDP 127.0.0.1:65530 *.* :)

So, could we have a UDPStartup() as well ? Or just WinsockInit() :evil:

Now, I used the scripts of "MSLx Fanboy" from this post UDP functions, but I get an error when UDPSend() is called. The error is: @error = 10038 - WSAENOTSOCK.

From MSDN Winsock Error codes:

Socket operation on nonsocket.

An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket. Either the socket handle parameter did not reference a valid socket, or for select, a member of an fd_set was not valid.

HOWEVER, even though the server now opens a socket, I'm not able to send data to it. Using netcat I'm sending random characters to port 65530, but UDPRecv() returns just an empty string....

UDPSend gets an error and returns @error = 10038. I'm looking that up now though

WSAENOTSOCK

Error Number: 10038

Socket operation on non-socket.

An operation was attempted on something that is not a socket.

Either the socket handle parameter did not reference a valid

socket, or for select, a member of an fd_set was not valid.

Maybe NetStart()?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

Hm.. I tend to UDPStartup() although it is redundant with TCPStartup(), otherwise people forget to use that function, because it's in another section of the help file.

BTW: I'm working on the problem with jpm. There are some issues in the source code of the UDP functions, which lead to the described errors.

Cheers

I say that TCPStartup() remain built in, as it might break scripts if the name were changed. Maybe just having a UDPStartup() 'echo' or run the same code as TCPStartup, or just have the UDP help file say that TCPStartup is required or something...

Just a *bump* for /dev/null and anyone else who wants to take a peek.

I updated the code thanks to a little smack in the back of the head from Larry...I forgot TCPShutdown... :) Thanks though, I'm a stickler for closing everything I open, I can't believe I did that :evil:

Here are the current scripts that I have...If there's something wrong, let me know please!

Edit: Current scripts (as of 6/24/05 5:47pm est) are in post # 23
