Copy and Paste

Post by Raspberrypicker »

How do I copy and paste code into qbasic, or from qbasic to somewhere else. I've been through a few turtorials which have told me to copy and paste code, but I couldn't figure out how to do this. So I always end up typing it up myself (which I guess is better practice for me anyway.)

But if you can help with this plz let me know.

Also, I can't copy code from one qbasic program to another.

when you SAVE a BAS file make it so it can be read
by other programs...

this basically makes it a text file

which you can then open in a text editor and copy, cut and paste code
between the BAS file and anything else.

I find it easier to open notepad and paste the code into that and then save it as name.bas, make sure you put the .bas on the end

You could also hold alt and press enter to minimize it and then right clicking on the top window bar, then go down to edit and click paste. Though this is not a good thing to do with indented code.
