Is it possible to read a text file in BASIC and
display the info on screen e.g
A text file contains word 1, word 2 word 3 etcAnd the BASIC program would print word 1
then word 2 on the next line and so on. Thanks |

That's from memory, so could be wrong (I'm not at home currently and have a horrible feeling about the while loop)
I usually use...in%=OPENIN
"ADFS::4.$.file"
REPEAT
line$=GET$#in%
PRINT line$
UNTIL EOF#in%
CLOSE#in% |

You need something like this (assuming the text file has one word per line like you want the output) : I%=OPENIN("textfile" )
WHILE NOT EOF#I%
A$=GET$#I%
PRINT A$
ENDWHILE That's from memory, so could be wrong (I'm not at home currently and have a horrible feeling about the while loop...), but it's the sort of thing you want to be doing.  Try typing HELP OPENIN etc. at the BASIC prompt to get some pointers, and there's a StrongHelp BASIC manual downloadable from http://www.users.zetnet.co.uk/kappa/Strong/basic.htm ATB,

UNTIL EOF#in%
CLOSE#in% But with this version, something is printed even if the file is empty, which you probably don't want. BTW, I have checked and my WHILE look is okay. But I forgot the vital CLOSE#I% at the end which closes the open file. ATB,

Thanks That works.
But is it possible to have a relitive file location
i.e instead of ADFSDisc4 rog.textfile
just have texttile Because the textfile will be in the same directory as the progarm. Thanks |

If you create an Obey file, with something like Set ilikemonkeys$dir <Obey$Dir>
Wimpslot -min 32k -max 32k
<ilikemonkeys$dir>.BasicFile - replace the 32k with the amount of memory needed by your program, and ilikemonkeys with something more sensible... Then you can do
f = OPENIN("<ilikemonkeys$Dir>.Textfile" from your program |
