GET#
Abbreviation:
TYPE: I/O Statement
FORMAT: GET# <file number>, <variable list>
Action: This statement reads characters one-at-a-time from the
device or file specified. It works the same as the GET statement,
except that the data comes from a different place than the keyboard.
If no character is received, the variable is set to an empty string
(equal to "") or to 0 for numeric variables. Characters
used to separate data in files, like the comma (,) or <RETURN>
key code (ASC code of 13), are received like any other character.
When used with device #3 (TV screen), this statement will read
characters one by one from the screen. Each use of GET# moves
the cursor 1 position to the right. The character at the end of
the logical line is changed to a CHR$ (13), the <RETURN>
key code.
EXAMPLES of GET# Statement:
5 GET#1, A$
10 OPEN 1,3: GET#1, Z7$
20 GET#1, A, B, C$, D$
