in reply to How to count the number of bytes of a multicast message received?

the recv() method doesn't give the statistics on the number of bytes received.

Maybe I'm misunderstanding you, but doesn't using length on the scalar variable that you supply to recv tell you what you want to know?

    Thanks BrowserUK! length will serve the purpose! I was so stupid and tried a couple of modules before I realized I could do it by simply getting the length of the variable, haha.
