I have a task where I neeed to be writing and reading bytes from a tcp socket - so for instance I might want to send/receive an integer which is 1 byte long, other times 4 bytes. in Java you can do that easily with the byte type, so far I have no good idea how to do this in Ruby. -- Agnieszka -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
