WRITE# Statement
Purpose:
To write data to a sequential file.
Syntax:
WRITE #filenum, list of expressions
Comments:
filenum is the number under which the file was opened for output.
list of expressions is a list of string and/or numeric expressions separated by commas or
semicolons.
The WRITE# and PRINT# statements differ in that WRITE# inserts commas between the items as
they are written and delimits strings with quotation marks, making explicit delimiters in the list
unnecessary. Another difference is that WRITE# does not put a blank in front of a positive
number. After the last item in the list is written, a carriage return/line feed sequence is inserted.
Examples:
Let A$ = "CAMERA" and B$ = "93604-1". The following statement:
WRITE#1, A$, B$
writes the following image to disk:
"CAMERA", "93604-1"
A subsequent INPUT$ statement, such as the following, would input "CAMERA" to A$ and
"93604-1" to B$:
INPUT#1, A$, B$
