How do i import a 2000 character text file as a single string in QBasic? I am trying to use
OPEN "a.txt" For Input as #1
INPUT #1, a$
but it appends it to about 500 characters.

Any help is much appreciated.

Use input$

hmm i've never used input$ before...

but i found this http://www.qb64.net/wiki/index.php?titl ... statement) and it seems simple enough. you can read a specific number of bytes at a time.

-,8

Try this link to use INPUT$(bytes%, filenumber%):
