Arduino Telnet Server

Premise: I'm an improvised coder.
I have added two parts to the server, one for the temperature readings (but I hadn't time to test it) and one for the reading/writing of 6 variables:

Temperature:
library and settings:

#include <DHT.h>

//#define DHTTYPE DHT11   // DHT 11 
#define DHTTYPE DHT22   // DHT 22  (AM2302)
//#define DHTTYPE DHT21   // DHT 21 (AM2301)
#define DHTPIN 2     // what pin we're connected to
DHT dht(DHTPIN, DHTTYPE);

in the void setup:

dht.begin();

in the void parseReceivedText added:

case 'e' : envCommand(); break;

and the rest of the code:

void envCommand()
// if we got here, textBuff[0] = 'e'
{
switch (textBuff[1]) {
case 't' : envTempCommand(); break;
case 'h' : envHumCommand(); break;
default: printErrorMessage(); break;
}
}

void envTempCommand()
// if we got here, textBuff[0] = 'e' and textBuff[1] = 't'
{
//float h = dht.readHumidity();
  float t = dht.readTemperature();
//  if (isnan(t)) {
    if (isnan(t) && (t) == 0.00) {
  	client.println("ERROR reading the sensor ");
        client.print("DEBUG content of t ");
        client.print(t); 
        client.println(" "); }
	else {
	client.print("Temp: ");
	client.print(t);
	client.print(" *C"); 
        client.println(" "); }
}

void envHumCommand()
// if we got here, textBuff[0] = 'e' and textBuff[1] = 'h'
{
float h = dht.readHumidity();
  if (isnan(h)) {
	client.println("ERROR reading the sensor ");
        client.print("DEBUG content of h ");
        client.print(h); 
        client.println(" "); }
	else {
	client.print("Hum: ");
	client.print(h);
	client.print(" %\t");
        client.println(" "); }
}

the variables part:
define the variables:

int a = 0;
int b = 0;
int c = 0;
int d = 0;
int e = 0;
int f = 0;

in the void parseReceivedText added:

case 'v' : varCommand(); break;

and the variables code:

void varCommand()
// if we got here, textBuff[0] = 'v'
{
switch (textBuff[1]) {
case 's' : varSetCommand(); break;
case 'r' : varReadCommand(); break;
default: printErrorMessage(); break;
}
}


void varSetCommand()
// if we got here, textBuff[0] = 'v' and textBuff[1] = 's'
{  
if (textBuff[3] == '=') {
  int variable = 0;                       // varible to store my command variable
  variable = parseDigit(textBuff[4]);     // reads the fourth char of my command
     if (variable >= 0 && variable <= 9) {   // check if a number have been entered, isnan didn't quite work
       switch (textBuff[2]) {
         case 'a':
           a = variable;
           client.print("'a' is: ");
           client.println(a);
           client.println("OK! ");
           break;
         case 'b':
           b = variable;
           client.print("'b' is: ");
           client.println(b);
           client.println("OK! ");
           break;
         case 'c':
           c = variable;
           client.print("'c' is: ");
           client.println(c);
           client.println("OK! ");
           break;
         case 'd':
           d = variable;
           client.print("'d' is: ");
           client.println(d);
           client.println("OK! ");
           break;  
         case 'e':
           e = variable;
           client.print("'e' is: ");
           client.println(e);
           client.println("OK! ");
           break;
         case 'f':
           f = variable;
           client.print("'f' is: ");
           client.println(f);
           client.println("OK! ");
           break;     
         default:
           client.println("ERROR: wrong variable ");
       }
     }
   else client.println("ERROR: unfortunately we can only process one digit numbers"); }
else client.println("ERROR: wrong command ");  }


void varReadCommand()
// if we got here, textBuff[0] = 'v' and textBuff[1] = 'r'
{
    switch (textBuff[2]) {
      case 'a':
        client.println(a);
        break;
      case 'b':
        client.println(b);
        break;
      case 'c':
        client.println(c);
        break;
      case 'd':
        client.println(d);
        break;
      case 'e':
        client.println(e);
        break;
      case 'f':
        client.println(f);
        break;
      default:
        client.println("ERROR: wrong variable ");
      }
}

obviously I added the needed text to the help ( void printHelpMessage ):

client.println(" et -environmental TEMP read: returns the state of the temp sensor");
client.println(" eh -environmental HUMidity read: returns the state of the humidity sensor");
client.println(" vr -variable read: reads a variable");
client.println(" vs -variable set: sets a variable");
client.println(" allowed variables are: a b c d e f ");
client.println(" allowed variables values are numbers between 0-9 ");
