INPUT#
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Field of Application Statement for reading a string of data from an OPENed device or
sequential file.
Syntax INPUT#,[,...]
is the number assigned to the file or device when it was
OPENed.
is the variable to which the input data will be assigned.
Remarks This statement resembles the INPUT statement, but allows the input to come
from other devices than the standard IN channel or from various files. Like
the INPUT statement, commas can be used to assign different portions of the
input to different variables. INPUT# does not allow prompts to be used.
When reading from a sequential file, the records can be read one after the other
by the repeated issuing of INPUT# statements with the same file reference.
Once a file record has been read, it cannot be read again until the file is
CLOSEd and then OPENed again.
The maximum number of characters that can be read using an INPUT#
statement is 300 characters.
Note that INPUT# filters out any incoming ASCII 00 dec. characters (NUL).
Example This example assigns data from the first record in the sequential file
"Addresses" to the three string variables A$, B$ and C$ and from the second
record in the same file to the string variables D$ and E$:
