faulty transmission/retrieval of bluetooth data

Using Arduino Programming Questions
24

I actually eventually got it to work with this

#include <SoftwareSerial.h>
SoftwareSerial mySerial(7,8); // RX, TX 

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(115200);
  mySerial.begin(57600); //required when using the hm-10 with an arduino nano
  mySerial.listen();
}
char data[20];
byte indx = 0;
void loop() {
  while (mySerial.available () > 0) {
    char d = mySerial.read();
    data[indx] = d;
    indx ++;
    if (d == ';') {
      Serial.println(data);
      data[0] = (char)0;
      indx = (byte)0;      
    }
  }
}

I still nee to implement strtok() and more but your link sent me in the right direction. Thank you so much.
I apologize if I was difficult to assist, but I greatly appreciate your help.
