Examples
read/write string data
sobj=tcpserver('127.0.0.1',9999);
cobj=tcpclient('127.0.0.1',9999);
sobj.Connected;
cobj.write('Hello Server');
sobj.read()
sobj.write('Hello Client');
cobj.read()
sobj.close();
cobj.close();
ans = Hello Server
ans = Hello Client
read/write numeric data
sobj=tcpserver('127.0.0.1',9999);
cobj=tcpclient('127.0.0.1',9999);
sobj.Connected;
data=[1,2,3,4];
cobj.write(data,'double');
clientdata=sobj.read(4,'double')
data=99;
sobj.write(data,'int32');
serverdata=cobj.read(1,'int32')
sobj.close();
cobj.close();
clientdata = [Matrix] 1 x 4
1 2 3 4
serverdata = 99
