INPUT#
Chapter —Program Instructions
Purpose Statement for reading a string of data from an OPEN 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 32,767 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$:
