| All About Random Access And The FIELD Statement... |
on Jul 24 |
| * Nice job, but I think I will stick with TYPE thankyou. (couple of typos) |
on Jul 24 |
| * I did a review and correct what I spotted...should be most of them. |
on Jul 24 |
| *Looks good. Hope Pete will make a FAQ for it. |
on Jul 25 |
| Excellent! ... |
on Jul 24 |
| Please do post this in the FAQ. | Solitaire on Jul 24 |

| Using QBASIC's indexing would be faster/"better" |
on Jul 23 |
| it certainly would be faster | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| Random Files have no advantages over binary files except... |
on Jul 23 |
| i've always assumed that if your project is large enough, you'll need binary anyway | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| Yes, as would I...but this is to say..... |
on Jul 23 |
| naturally, i disagree | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| Here's another definition of random file. |
on Jul 23 |
| Re: Here's another definition of random file. | Anonymous on Jul 23 |
| ahh, but ... |
on Jul 23 |
| i wish you could show me how that's true | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| Elementary my dear menn ;) always wanted to say that. |
on Jul 23 |
| * 30$ faster? I guess time really is money | qbguy on Jul 23 |
| LOL I thought that was a given ;). lol. |
on Jul 23 |
| * More than two LOLs in one post = need to go in the Laughter Forum | Forum Police on Jul 23 |
| LOL My bad ;).... |
on Jul 23 |
| Please move the post above to the appropriate forum at... | Note to Pete on Jul 23 |
| ROFLMAO.... |

| * I hereby declare this thread as HIJACKED! Thanks folks |
on Jul 23 |
| *yes, this has gone from how to write the op's program to how to write the op's program | mennonite on Jul 24 |
| Not sure what hijack means to you but I don't see it here. |
on Jul 24 |
| * I don't wanna ride on a plane with me either :-D |
on Jul 24 |
| it works...:) |
on Jul 23 |
| Blank Lines are not records. 0 length versus 100 |
on Jul 23 |
| that certainly is a point in its favor | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| For this job, RANDOM may be overkill |
on Jul 23 |
| well that's the thing, i think it usually is | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| * TYPE works better for me. Just show them that instead. |
on Jul 23 |
| I'm creating an article on the FIELD statement.... |
on Jul 23 |
| *The program MONEY.BAS that came with QBasic uses FIELD (I have a copy if you want one). |
on Jul 23 |
| * IF it's the one that originally came with QBasic, I want it ;) please. |
on Jul 23 |
| *Check your mail. |
on Jul 23 |
| *Bob, I don't have the Money.Bas either. Could you send it? |
on Jul 23 |
| *On the way. |
on Jul 23 |
| While your at it. ADD a FAQ for file access modes too. |
on Jul 23 |
| i didn't think the purpose of the forum was to write faq's all the time | mennonite on Jul 24 |
| *Your right! You DON'T think.........you twitter about nothing |
on Jul 24 |
| Anyway, disk space is an issue |
on Jul 23 |
| * I sure hope not! You won't be programming long if it is. |
on Jul 23 |
| This is supposed to run on an vintage palmtop |
on Jul 23 |
| use sequential then | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| * My QB folder is over 300 MB alone. |
on Jul 23 |
| RE: RANDOM and file size |
on Jul 24 |
| Ironically, I could have used RANDOM instead of BINARY for indexing in my previous example |
on Jul 24 |
| Thanks i will try this |
on Jul 24 |
| Size ok nice solution |
on Jul 24 |
| If you just use lnes of text data, you can use Sequencial files |
on Jul 23 |
| *sequential is good. binary and sequential files could still be edited in notepad. | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| I remember trying to edit them LOL |
on Jul 23 |
| i mean if you used sequential or binary to simulate random | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| i'm not sure your post makes any sense, but | mennonite on Jul 23 |
| Line Wrapping | qbguy on Jul 23 |
| * 80 is max PRINT line. OP is using 75 for indentations |

| oh... actually they also invented the .pcx file | mennonite on Jul 21 |

| Hey, lkt153, very interesting -- quick question... |
on Jul 20 |
| Hmmm |
on Jul 20 |
| *Thanks Artelius -- I appreciate the warning -- I won't advertise the method. |
on Jul 20 |
| * AND is exactly what it does, I didn't know about the palette loss part, though. | lkt153 on Jul 21 |
| * Don't use OUT for that! POKE should not cause any damage however |
on Jul 20 |
| * I'm trying to use POKE instead of PSET for practice | Ben on Jul 20 |
| *Then POKE in SCREEN 13 all you want |
on Jul 20 |
| There's a FAQ about POKEing SCREEN 12 (*URL) |

| Those numberpad keys work better than the arrow keys |
on Jul 21 |
| Re: The arrow keys | Ralph on Jul 21 |
| Oh come on, Ralph (*URL) |
on Jul 21 |
| The program uses EIGHT directions, not four! | Ralph on Jul 21 |
| if not for the 8 direction thing, it's easy to get the arrow keys with inkey$ | mennonite on Jul 21 |
| TRY this Ralph |
