readLine in a BufferedReader object

[Sebastiano Gazzola]

I'm trying to develop a simple echo server with java. I use a
BufferedReader to retrieve the characters in input from the socket, but
when I use System.out.print to print the String object that readLine
returns to me, there are a lot of strange chars before the real word
sent by the client. I think these chars specify the format of the data,
but how can I print the data I received without this addtional data I
don't need?

Many thanks

Sebastiano

The only data received by the server is data actually sent by the
client. It could be that you are not using the same stream or reader
types at each end of the connection, or perhaps you have made a
mistake in your handling of the data (at one or the other end of the
connection).

If you didn't write the client, what client are you using to talk to
your server?
