Turing data file help

[l3`]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
Im trying to pull text from certain places in a data file and output to run window. No sucess so far.

What is the problem you are having?
Not sure how to pull certain pieces of data. (i.e, from line 2, spaces 5..100)

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
ive looked at a bunch of tutorials, but so far none have helped. Ive tried the basic code which is whats below, but it runs and nothing happens..


Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

var questions : int var line_num : string := "" open : questions, "Questions", get loop     exit when eof (questions)     get : questions, line_num : 25 end loop close : questions

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
Turing for Windows

You can use the seek (or is it read?) function, but it's probably easier to just get input until you get to the one you need. If you need line 5, get the first 4 lines (you can put them all in the same variable, since you don't care about them), then get the 5th. There's nothing wrong with reading extra data until you get into very large data sets.
