Forums Scripts & Popups Null Bytes, Sockets and binvars, oh god

ok im getting null bytes from a socket, issue is i need them... so i can the replace them in an alias whitch i must use!, but mirc dont proccess nullbytes, and im not a binvar pro, so if you could help or understand what im asking please post an examplre of a sockread sending binvar data with null bytes to an alias to be replaced in and only in that alias, not before it in the sockread

This code is untested, but you'll get the idea:

On *:sockread:socket_name:{

• [color:blue];
  ; Read the data into a binary variable,
  ; 950 bytes (characters) at a time
  ; to avoid a "line too long" error with /echo.
  ;
  sockread 950 &var
  while $sockbr {
  ;
  ; Replace zeroes with $chr(64) which is @.
  ;
  breplace &var 0 64
  echo -s Sockread: $bvar(&var, 1-).text
  ;
  ; Since we fetch the data in 950-byte chunks,
  ; there still may be something left in the buffer.
  ;
  ; The job of this loop is to read the data
  ; until the buffer is emptied.
  ;
  sockread 950 &var
  }
