Client-Server Multiline 'gets' problem

Hello.
I have a slight problem with my client server application. I don't know
how I am supose to receive a multi-line string by either of the sides.
At the moment my server waits until I input a command on the client and
translates it to a command line command as well as assigns the output of
said command to a var and then sends it back to the client. As long as
the output is in single line everything is fine, but when I call for
example dir, only output I get is first line of the dir output.

My question is how can i send multiple lines if text across my
server(standard TCPSocket) or how can i chop up my output to single
lines?

Thanks for your time
