LINE INPUT
Chapter 2 Program Instructions
Field of Application Statement for assigning an entire line, including punctuation marks,
from the standard IN channel to a single string variable.
Syntax LINE INPUT[;]
↔
; is an optional prompt plus a semicolon
is the string variable to which the input line is assigned.
Remarks For information on standard I/O channel, see SETSTDIO statement. By
default, "uart1:" is the standard I/O channel.
LINE INPUT differs from INPUT in that an entire line of max. 300 characters
will be read. Possible commas will appear as punctuation marks in the string
instead of dividing the line into portions.
During the execution of a program, a LINE INPUT statement will interrupt
the execution. You can make a prompt being displayed on the screen of the
terminal or host computer to notify the operator that the program is expecting
additional data to be entered. The input is terminated and the program
execution is resumed when a carriage return character (ASCII 13 decimal) is
encountered. The carriage return character will not be included in the input
line.
Note that LINE INPUT filters out any incoming ASCII 00 dec. characters
(NUL).
