What I want to do is. Is read from a file and only display the first 20 lines. then give an option to quit, or read more.
open the file
Line input #1, line$ ' A way to loop threw until the 1st 20 lines area read in
print line$
input "Read More or Quit" if More then read the next 20 lines or quit and return to the main menu
Any one have any ideas on this.
And is there a Quick Basic Manual on line that I can download. I been looking and can't seem to find any thing
Joe
Display lines from text file
Code: Select all

10
for x%= 1 to 20
Line input #1, line$ ' A way to loop threw until the 1st 20 lines area read in
print line$
next x%
input "Read more or Quit"; responce$
if responce$="Go On" then
cls
goto 10 'starts over and gets the next 20
else
close #1
system
end ifFrom what I fount out
Its called an input buffer, NOT a file Buffer
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,

Most of the tutorials are ok. Just not what I'm looking for. What I need is a index for all the commands used with samples.Ralph wrote: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,

No Money
this is a better idea if I had the money. Just to go out and buy one would be even better. It's just to go or do any thing out side my own home would cost money.Erik wrote:idk about online, but I know at my town's Library there's still a bunch of Qbasic/QuickBasic programming books...
