Hello

First post (i am new to ruby :-)). Can you help?

I am using eventmachine to read in TCP segments off the network. I read
in a TCP segment that contains 4 messages. The TCP segment binary data
is shown below, where
\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\xFF\ is the
marker for each message. I would like to split the data intot he 4
messages, but am having trouble doing so. When I split the data, the
whole message gets inserted into the first array element. I understand I
may need to escape the \, but how would i do that for the following
message. I can split it by unpacking to Hex, and the splitting, but that
is inefficient for my needs as I use bindata to inspect the packet. Any
help is appreciated

Thanks
