GET# Statement
Category Reference/Commodore BASIC V3.5 Topic GET# file number,variable This is similar to the GET statement, but instead of getting a character from the keyboard, it is taken from a device or file opened with the OPEN statement. This statement can only be used within a program. If it is used in direct mode, an ?ILLEGAL DIRECT ERROR will occur. Examples `10 GET# 1,A$` Gets a character from file 1 *** Note: Due some problems with drive' sync, it is a good habit to check if the received character is null (""). In this way the GET statement should be redone: `10 GET# 1,A$: IF A$="" THEN 10` Gets a valid character from file 1 Abbreviation G SHIFT+E #
