Answer 1

Not stated in the original question is whether ASCII control codes have to handled.

While the accepted answer works for printable ASCII characters I've had problems (on Windows 7 Enterprise SP1) using it for strings containing ASCII control codes, especially strings containing any of the java newline "characters", e.g. VT, CR, LF, etc. A workaround is to send the string as bytes and convert it back to a string at the far end.

See my answer to this question for how to handle that situation.

and my closely related question and it's accepted answer:

Need TCPIP client that blocks until a specific character sequence is received
