My first thought is: Do you terminate the program each time, or do all 40 remain running?

Why couldn't one use something like this:

Code: Select all

I don't know where one might find a QuickBASIC manual, but, a good place to learn is with tutorials. For starters, go to the top of this site and click on the link,
Return to Pete's QBasic Site
Then, search in the left-hand sidebar for Tutorials.

If you need more tutorials, let us know.

Copy some text file to a floppy on the A:\ drive, let's say, the file, "AnyFile.txt" Now, enter this little program in QuickBASIC: CLS OPEN "A:\AnyFile.txt" FOR INPUT AS #1 WHILE NOT EOF(1) WHILE INKEY$ = "":WEND LINE INPUT #1, A$ PRINT A$ WEND CLOSE #1 Run the program. You will see the A:\ drive tu...

"Writing" to a buffer: When you read a file from your hard drive, from a floppy, etc. you first OPEN the file, and assign a buffer file number, as in the code line: OPEN "C:\Letters\MyText.txt" FOR ...
