commandPort echo pain

[ptb]

Hi,

I'm working with a network connection between maya and processing.
Processing can receive data, but only when everything is echoed with the commandPort -eo flag. In the manual for commandPort it quotes: "Typically only the result is transmitted", which would be great, but doesn't happen.

I use this line to open it: commandPort -name ":10004";

Or is there a way to send only specific lines via mel?

Thanks

(I'm using win7 64bit, maya2011)

no. Mayas just a server, either it sends you back all you type, plus the answer or just the answer. Please understand it only answers to stuff sent over the port, ista not meant for maya to send stuff. just recieve stuff, and answers to those.
Tough you can wrap up the commands to do more if you wish to work your ass off.
Go find my maya webserver example.
But it really sounds like you want maya to be the client, that dont work, use python.
