Formatting Text

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

There was a previous post almost about this topic but i wanna take it a step further.
I know how do make your program not crash if the user inputs more than 255 characters but how would you make it so that if the user only typed in (lets say 30 characters) it would delete the empty space. (which is not used)

ex.
var text :string (255)

get text : 255

put text..
put "blah"

If the user only typed in a 6 letter word, the next word blah appears on the next line. How do u prevent this from happening and still make the program not crash if user types 255 words
HELP ME

Dont' work for long strings

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

ASOK IT DOESN'T work when the string you enter is greater than 80 characters.

locate (x,y)
y can only go up 2 80

can you make it work for a longer string?!!!

This is the simpler way that I probably should've given you the first time

var text :string (255) 

get text : 255 
cls
put text ," blah"

that puts it right after the text, if you want something else be more specific.
