Encoding Type issue?

Hi, in a TCP communication where a string is passed from the client to the host this happens:

Sent message by the client:

<open>
<feed1 type="feedbyyou">
<door1 id=""/>
<open/>

Received message by the host:

<open>\n <feed1 type=\"feedbyyou\">\n <door1 id=\"\"/>\n</open>

Why is this happening? The client program is in C++ as well as the host program. Can anyone help me understand?

Thank you.
Nuno

The second text is the same as the first, if seen by a C compiler.
How do you get those texts? From a debugger watch? a text file?

Solution 1

what is the issue here. You recieved exactly what is sent.

'\n' is new line char
'\' in the message is used as escape char.

Not sure. To me it seems he's receiving a text that -if processed by a C compiler- will result in the same text.
