Forums Scripts & Popups Sockets (the new bane of my life)

Hey

I have a tv.com script which works fine, using sockets.

It echoes all the information i require, however, it doesn't read the information as id like.

EXAMPLE:

<h3>First Episode</h3>
<a class="btn_edit fr mr-5" style="margin-top:3px;" href="http://www.tv.com/usersubmission/episode_synopsis.html&show_id=2687&episode_id=85433"></a>
</div>
<div class="f-bold f-medium f-red mb-5">

<div class="mb-5"><a href="http://www.tv.com/my-family/serpents-tooth/episode/85433/summary.html" class="f-12">Serpent's Tooth</a></div>
<p class="mt-0 mb-0">Ben is annoyed to learn that both Janey and Susan are patients of another dentist...especially since Janey hasd a crush on this dentist. Nick uses Ben's laptop to have an 'email romance' with Isabelle - a famous model...Who's lying to who...? <a href="http://www.tv.com/my-family/serpents-tooth/episode/85433/summary.html">Continue</a> <a href="http://www.tv.com/episode/85433/summary.html"><img src="http://image.com.com/tv/images/arrow.gif"></a></p>

Excuse the long example.

Now, it will read that line by line, but say i want to use an if statement to check if <h3>First Episode</h3> is a match to what it reads. Then I want to echo/display all the information below that line too.

At the moment, the most it will echo is one line, what I mean is that it will ignore the line breaks. Im using a %var, not a &binvar.

Is there any way to get round this?

Many thanks in advance.

The sockread command reads all data up to the next linebreak. To continue reading the rest of the data, you will need to set a global variable as a switch, and then use that variable in the sockread event to indicate that you want to display the next line as well. Example:
