Displaying an ascii file

[remax]

Hello, i'm using a prog from CPC power to display Ascii files :

Code Select Expand


MODE 2:OPENIN "fichier.txt":WHILE NOT EOF:INPUT #9,a$:print a$:WEND:CLOSEIN



It works well, except when it must display commas (ascii 44), then it just do a CR...


Is there any way to modify this program to display also commas ?

I once needed the same, then I used a semicolon as comma, and defined new SYMBOL for semicolon....

Yeah... dirty but efficient

I'll do that if nobody thinks of another solution.

Do you tried LINE INPUT?

Do you tried LINE INPUT?

That was the tidy way, thank you very much !

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, when an European CPC finds ASCII 44, CR occurs instead of ASCII 13? I'm confused!

The problem is that INPUT uses the comma as a separator. You can use "INPUT a$,b$" to read two strings at once, for example.
This also work for reading from a file, so you can use it for a kind of structured data (CSV files).


LINE INPUT instead always reads a whole line, so it does not ahve this feature.
