Hello everyone! I'm writing an IRC framework (still in very rough, early stages), and am having trouble reading a single line from the server (in this case irc.freenode.net:6667). Ideally, I would get output that looks like the following:

:wolfe.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Looking up your hostname... :wolfe.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Checking Ident :wolfe.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** Your forward and reverse DNS do not match, ignoring hostname :wolfe.freenode.net NOTICE * :*** No Ident response :wolfe.freenode.net 001 foobarbazball :Welcome to the freenode Internet Relay Chat Network foobarbazball :wolfe.freenode.net 002 foobarbazball :Your host is wolfe.freenode.net[ 91.217.189.44/6667], running version ircd-seven-1.1.3 :wolfe.freenode.net 003 foobarbazball :This server was created Sun Aug 2 2015 at 18:58:22 UTC :wolfe.freenode.net 004 foobarbazball wolfe.freenode.net ircd-seven-1.1.3 DOQRSZaghilopswz CFILMPQSbcefgijklmnopqrstvz bkloveqjfI :wolfe.freenode.net 005 foobarbazball CHANTYPES=# EXCEPTS INVEX CHANMODES=eIbq,k,flj,CFLMPQScgimnprstz CHANLIMIT=#:120 PREFIX=(ov)@+ MAXLIST=bqeI:100 MODES=4 NETWORK=freenode KNOCK STATUSMSG=@+ CALLERID=g :are supported by this server :wolfe.freenode.net 005 foobarbazball CASEMAPPING=rfc1459 CHARSET=ascii NICKLEN=16 CHANNELLEN=50 TOPICLEN=390 ETRACE CPRIVMSG CNOTICE DEAF=D MONITOR=100 FNC TARGMAX=NAMES:1,LIST:1,KICK:1,WHOIS:1,PRIVMSG:4,NOTICE:4,ACCEPT:,MONITOR: :are supported by this server :wolfe.freenode.net 005 foobarbazball EXTBAN=$,ajrxz WHOX CLIENTVER=3.0 SAFELIST ELIST=CTU :are supported by this server :wolfe.freenode.net 251 foobarbazball :There are 153 users and 93407 invisible on 27 servers :wolfe.freenode.net 252 foobarbazball 24 :IRC Operators online :wolfe.freenode.net 253 foobarbazball 8 :unknown connection(s) :wolfe.freenode.net 254 foobarbazball 54832 :channels formed :wolfe.freenode.net 255 foobarbazball :I have 6701 clients and 1 servers :wolfe.freenode.net 265 foobarbazball 6701 7241 :Current local users 6701, max 7241 :wolfe.freenode.net 266 foobarbazball 93560 97293 :Current global users 93560, max 97293 :wolfe.freenode.net 250 foobarbazball :Highest connection count: 7242 (7241 clients) (668628 connections received) :wolfe.freenode.net 375 foobarbazball :- wolfe.freenode.net Message of the Day - :wolfe.freenode.net 372 foobarbazball :- Welcome to wolfe.freenode.net in Stockholm, SE. :wolfe.freenode.net 372 foobarbazball :- Thanks to http://www.portlane.com/ for sponsoring :wolfe.freenode.net 372 foobarbazball :- this server! :wolfe.freenode.net 372 foobarbazball :- :wolfe.freenode.net 372 foobarbazball :- WOLFE, GENE [1931-].
