Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

LINE INPUT # reads an entire line from a sequential file to a string variable.
 
LINE INPUT #filenumber%, stringvariable$
 
Usage Notes
    ■ The LINE INPUT # statement reads all characters in the sequential
      file up to a carriage return. It then skips over the carriage-return
      and line-feed sequence.
 
Programming Tips
    ■ LINE INPUT # is especially useful if a text file is being read a line
      at a time.
