prepending and appending

cryptid · Post by **cryptid** » Thu Aug 18, 2005 3:39 am

hi this is my first post,, my problem is that
i want to make a program that will take users input and it should prepend and append a certain word to the line that the user has entered for example :

the user has entered the word "hi i am cryptid" what i want to do is that take that line and and add a "(" to the begining and ending of the file so the final text will be

("hi i am cryptid")

i have given only 1 line inthis example but i my program i should be able to take multiple lines and brackets to it

plz help me

or even if my program is able to pick up files from a text file and modify it in the same manner it would be ok

thanx

'Is this what you mean?

<font face="System">
CLS
LINE INPUT "Text: "; t$
t2$ = "(" + t$ + ")"
PRINT t2$
</font>
