movie scrept effect with data file

-----------------------------------

ok i found that movie script effect on the turing source and its really ncie i like it a lot i got the thing to work and read the information from the data file, but i ran intoa  little problem it keeps going over the new location line all the time.... so anybody know how i coudl make it switch to another line when its done reading the first line in data file btw this is what i got

procedure info

    setscreen ("noecho,nocursor")
    colorback (black)
    cls

    open : i, "info.t", get
    assert i > 0

    loop

        get : i, skip
        exit when eof (i)
        get : i, sentence : *
        color (white)
        locate (1, (maxcol - length (sentence)) div 2)
        for a : 1 .. length (sentence)
            put sentence (a) ..
            delay (100)
        end for

    end loop

    Input.Pause

    cls

end info

Your question is a little confusing, but check your locate statement, cause if there is no variables in it that change you will be writing over the same spot.

yah i mean how can i get second line of text appear under the title for example lets say i have title and info

                    INTERLOOPER
bladaskldjasd asdnasgbdasjdga

soemthing liek that but it wont appear under the title it just goes over the first line rewrite it so how can i change that to write the actually infomation under the title or skip a line... hopefully that explainsa  bit

if you say


locate (10,1)
put title
put othershit


title will go on line 10 and othershit will go on line 11. If you keep calling locate everything will go on the line specified. If you want a little extra space throw a put "" in there.

You will need a counter to keep track of which line you want to output to.
You have:
        locate (1, (maxcol - length (sentence)) div 2)
you need:
        locate (row, (maxcol - length (sentence)) div 2)
row+=1
