Help datafile

[KONjbnj]

hey..i was wondering how would u be able to make a loop so that it only reads parts of a datafile i tried exit when when it gets to a certain part but it doesnt work..i need the loop to stop at a certain point.

thanks

[code]
loop

exit when eof (datafile)
get : datafile, food, price, combo, save
put food : 20, price : 10, combo : 10, save : 10
exit when food ="hamburger"
delay (100)


end loop
[/code]

Yes it is possible, you just have your coding wrong.

Take a look at these two programs. 'data' is just the text, and 'data get' gets the data.

Remove the comment to stop at hamburger.

En contrare, I think he's got his text file wrong. Assuming the textfile is set up in the correct format (food, price, combo, save), his code should work.
KONjbnj, would you please post the data file you were using?
