if you use
| code: |
put stuff .. |
then you dont have a space in between them.
why not just put a space then?
| code: |
put stuff ..
put " ".. |

I am trying to open a text document that is a bunch of paragraphs. The problem is that I can't get to show the paragraphs with spaces in them. What I mean is that if for example I want to open a text document containing: "Hi my name is Joe. Turing is a great program, but it is old so it is not as popular as it was." It will output either "HimynameisJoe.Turingisagreatprogram,butitisoldsoitisnotaspopularasitwas." or it will output "Hi my name is Joe. Turing is a great ... (e.t.c.)" This is my code: var filenum : int var stuff : string open : filenum, "weapons.txt", get loop exit when eof (filenum) get : filenum, stuff put stuff .. delay (100) end loop close : filenum Any help would be great.. |

Also, you can use the following
Using the " :* " should get the entire line, including spaces etc. |

The output depends how you get stuff and how you put stuff. If you get stuff with a :1 then you will get the text file by character including spaces. If you get : filenum, stuff :* then you will get the text file line by line. By using get:filenum, stuff you are getting it by word then you are putting that word followed by another word without spaces. Try putting a delay in your loop to see what I mean. |

The : operator allows you to specify how many characters you want to get. Ex:
From whatever is input, it will only use the first five characters. If you leave the : operator out, it will get the next string separated by whitespace (space, tab, newline, carriage return). Ex:
In Turing * usually means, when not dealing with math, end. If used in conjunction with the : operator, it will get everything until the end of the line. Ex:
