Reading text from a file in XB

[majestyx]

Maybe I'm overthinking this, or maybe I'm just not getting how it works.

 

I am trying to read in text data from a file which contains quote (") and comma characters in it. This causes a couple of problems.

 

I'm using a slightly modified version of a program in the User Reference Guide, from page II-130:

 

10 OPEN #1:"DSK2.SHERLOCK",INPUT
20 IF EOF(1)THEN 60
30 INPUT #1:A$
40 PRINT A$
50 GOTO 20
60 CLOSE #1
70 END

 

(text in file, stored in DISPLAY format, with a line feed at the end of each record)

Upon reaching 221B Baker Street, Mrs.
Hudson admits you with a smile, although
obviously in the midst of a busy
cleaning session. "How nice to see you
again," says Holmes' landlady. "Mr.
Holmes and Doctor Watson are in their
rooms. You know the way."

 

(what displays on screen when the program runs)

Upon reaching 221B Baker Street
Hudson admits you with a smile
obviously in the midst of a busy
cleaning session. "How nice to see you

* INPUT ERROR IN 30

 

I understand why the text is getting cut off when a comma occurs (it's considered another piece of data in that record). Not sure what's happening with the " since it gets displayed, but doesn't continue with the remaining text. Interestingly, this issue with the quote character doesn't occur in TI BASIC, only XB.

 

Regardless of this, is there a way to read in text using XB or their variants in order to include characters such as commas and quotes? I'm simply trying to display the data in the file on the screen, but don't know how to do this or know if it's possible. Maybe I'm just going about it all wrong.

 

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

 

EDIT: NEVERMIND! Just discovered the LINPUT command in the XB manual which takes care of this.

That's a nice teaser preview! It's pretty obvious what you are up to. Can't wait to see the final product.

Yes, the Scott Adams Adventure module just isn't going to cut the amount of text that I want to include in the game and I just don't have the time to learn ZIL and try to create an Infocom-style adventure file to use with the TI's Z-machine. Plus, this is going to be a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure type of game which helps to eliminate a parser.

 

I'm trying to make a "template" program where minimal modification is needed to the core system while the majority of the work will be the story files. Not sure just how well I'm going to do with it, but it was something I always wanted to do when I was a teen back in the 80s. The 32-column limitation has always stopped me from trying to do so, but now that I see you've added much easier access to 40-column text mode, I'm taking a shot at it thanks to being at a stand-still with my Baseball sim until I can figure out a way to utilize SAMS usefully for it.

 

Thanks for continuing to add more easy to use features for assembly-averse programmers like me!

[RXB]

I uses this XB program to convert DV 80 Text files to TI Writer DV 80 files:

100 OPEN #1:"DSK2.USER-DEMO",INPUT
110 OPEN #2:"DSK2.BATCH",OUTPUT
120 LINPUT #1:Z$
130 IF LEN(Z$)=80 THEN PRINT #2:Z$ :: GOTO 120
140 IF LEN(Z$)<80 THEN PRINT #2:Z$&CHR$(13)
150 Z$="" :: GOTO 120

It crashes and I type:

CALL CLSALL

to close all files in RXB.

 

You notice the lines in XB programs can be up to 5 lines in 32 columns that is 160 characters, just under the 163 characters in Merge format.

 

You could use this to better format as it puts an enter key after each line of text.

 

By the way the reason why your XB program crashes is the Quote Marks used.

Take a look at my RXB BATCH FILE to see how you get around Quote marks:

! DISK 1, under name "BATCH"

As you can see Quote marks are a problem when using strings.

Also use LINPUT not INPUT as one can handle QUOTE MARKS and the other does not.

Using Quote Marks with INPUT is complicated and messy, so instead use LINPUT

Fileread was one of my old XB standbys. Here's the program in V9T9 format. Remove the ".txt" extension after downloading. Also tried the same file as a drag&drop attachment without the extension. One of these should work.
