Syntax:
LINE INPUT [prompt$,] string-variable$
LINE INPUT #nbr, string-variable$
Description:
LINE INPUT [prompt$,] string-variable$
Reads an entire line from the console input into ‘string-variable$’. ‘prompt$’
is a string constant (not a variable or expression) and if specified it will be
printed first.
Unlike INPUT, this command will read a whole line, not
stopping for comma delimited data items.
A question mark is not printed unless it is part of ‘prompt$’.
LINE INPUT #nbr, string-variable$
Same as the LINE INPUT command except that the input is read from a file
previously opened for INPUT as ‘#fnbr’ or a serial communications port
previously opened for INPUT as ‘nbr’.
See the OPEN command. #0 can be used which refers to the
console.
Example reading a file, one line at a time.
OPEN "temp.bas" FOR INPUT
AS #2
DO WHILE NOT EOF(#2)
LINE INPUT #2, txt$
PRINT txt$
LOOP
CLOSE #2
