Re: Opening a txt file

I must admit that when reading a file prepared with NotePad (or other text editor) I prefer the GET$# command.
A line in NotePad ends with CHR$10+CHR$13 and GET$# will get everything up to the CHR$10, which means that the next GET$# command will read just the CHR$13, hence the following:
a$=GET$#F%:IFa$=""a$=GET$#F%
If you want to write to a text file, however, BBC BASIC only writes the string plus CHR$10. This means that all the lines run together in NotePad with funny rectangles between them. The solution is to add the CHR$13:
