Counting UDPSocket output to screen

General

Hi Xojo Community.

I’m new to Xojo and still learning. I was just posting to ask if anybody may kindly be able to help or provide some pointers .

I’m trying to develop a console application that will listen via UDPSocket/Datagram for syslog messages. Essentially I’m looking for each syslog message that my UDP socket receives via the DataAvailable event to StdOut.WriteLine to screen showing incrementally (A hit counter if you like).

For example when I run my app my console StdOut would initially show ‘0’ or ‘nil’ then for each syslog packet received via the DataAvailable event my console StdOut would then increment +1 each time accordingly.

Thanks for your help. I did make an effort to dig through the doc’s. It’s highly likely that I may have missed something…

What have you tried? It should be as simple as declaring a global variable and then incrementing and printing it in DataAvailable.
