Hi Luigi, could you write me a function which sends an rcon command and returns the answer? Something like char *SendRcon(char *ip, int port, char *pw, char *msg) and it returns something like "kicked player xy" or "no rcon set" or "server is offline" or ... Important is just I need it as one function only + the header files. If possible, C++ would be better but C is no problem.

the attached code is a good example not only for this sendrcon thing but also and moreover for a basic udp program to learn how to use sockets.

Thanx! Basically it works fine but when the answer has more then one line it shows me the first one only. Like status in your example. It just shows me print <break> map: <mapname>. No players, ips, ports (...) although players are in... Can you fix this?

the fact is that rcon should be handled in real-time and not with a stand-alone function, because in this case the only "fix" is the of handling the timeout, so if you don't receive a reply after one or two seconds it returns.

I have added this code to the previous post using a timeout of 2 seconds, if you want a different timeout set it in the "!timeout(sd, 2)" instruction.
oh, the sendrcon_full.c version automatically remove the "print" message of the server making it more readable

Ok Thanx! That's what I'm searching for.
