I am using a winsock OCX to receive data from a TCP/IP device with a scanner attached.
Here is my code to get data:

*** ActiveX Control Event ***
LPARAMETERS bytestotal
LOCAL strData
strData = SPACE(255)
This.Object.GetData(@strData)

I am checking bytestotal for every scan. While barcode has 5 chars I am recieving 12 sometimes and strData might look like this:
"abcde 12345"

where abcde 12345 are two consecutive scans. Do I need to do some kind of buffer clearing or something?

Thanks
