The purpose of the array is to provide a buffer of a specific size. As long as the buffer is of at least the correct size, it should be irrelevant what data type is used, whether fixed length string, integer, float, or whatever. I've just tried GET in QBASIC 1.1, and it seems to require a numeric array, but this seems to be an artificial requirement. Regards, Michael |
