PRINT#

FORMAT:

PRINT# file number {expreSSion}

{expreSSion}]

, stnng

;

string

;

Abbreviation:

P.#

See

Also:

OPEN, INPUT#

PURPOSE:

Writes values of specified variables into a specified file.

REMARKS:

PRINT# is valid only for a file opened for OUTPUT or APPEND with

the OPEN command. The file number

is

the number given to the file

when opened.

The mode does not need to be specified when the device name is

COM.

When

an

array variable (one or two dimensions) has been specified

in

the form of "array name(*)", the entire array

is

written to the file. Its

elements are written

in

the order of, for example,

C$(O

,

O),

C$(O,l),

C$(0,2)

....

C$(1,0)

.....

C$(5,5).

It

is

recommended that the FOR ... NEXT statement be used for writing

array variable data.

When the respective elements of the array are specified, they must be

specified in the form of "B(7)", "C$(5,6)", etc.

When a character or string element is used, it must not

be

specified

using a comma

(,)

or semicolon (;):

PRINT#2, "ABC"

PRINT#2,A$

If PRINT#2,"ABC",A$ is executed,

no

data delimiter is written and

"ABC" and A$ cannot be distinguished.

A numeric value is recorded in such a form that the sign (space when

it

is

positive), numeric character string, and space appear

in

that order.

The recording format is shown below:

(1)

When

a

comma

or

semicolon

does

not

tollow

the

data,

CR(&HOD)

and LF(&HOA)

are

provided.

I -

I

I 2 I

LF

(2)

When a comma follows the data, 20 bytes are occupied. A numeric

value

is

right justified and a character string

is

left justified.

Example:

PRINT

#2

, -

1.2,3

I

PRINT

#2

, "

ABC

", "DEF"

I A I B I C I

I

DIE

I F I

CR

I LFI

~

20 bytes

.j

When the character string exceeds 20 bytes, the excess part

is

written

to the next 20-byte area. The maximum size is 254 bytes.

(3)

When a semicolon follows the data, it is stored without spaces.

Example

:

PRINT

#2,

- 1.2;3

I -

11

I . I

2

I I I

ICR

I

LF

I

PRINT

#2

, "

ABC

";"DEF"

[ I

A I B I C I

0

I E l F I

CR

I LF I

In

this case, character strings

"

ABC"

and "DEF" will not be read

as

separate

strings during

an

INPUT# command.

When character strings are recorded with commas or semicolons, they

must be read with the INPUT$ command by specifying the exact

format in which they were recorded.
