input from file

[nelson]

hmmmmm

how would i get an input from datafile which has more than 250 letters in

one word.

if i want to just output them, i would use read.

but wut i have to do is put them in array, help! thx

u whould have to use more then one string var or get a better progaming langgue, lol.

may be somting like this:

var var1 : string
var var2 : string

get: stream, var1(249)
get: stream, var1(249)

the (249) tells it to only input 249 chars from the files

Or you could be a bit more bold and do this:

Determine the size of the file. (Commands exist in the File module, can't remember off hand)
Tell a position half way into it. (Or any other fraction to split the +250 char long word)
Slit the file into those two parts.
Go from there.

Essentially the same as Dan's method...but more fun!
Hmm...file splitters...where have I seen those before [subliminal hints drift over cyberspace to Method]...

[Dan]

ah that may be a better way to do it, harder to code and my take longer but it whould work with any file (well almost).

cool thx

or just get a single letter at a time and put /n every so often

[nelson]

i can use /n in turing??

and putting (249) does not work

[Dan]

i bilve u can but i tink it is \n not /n, not shure tho i allways get that mixed up
