Re: [M100] use of PRINT

[VANDEN BOSSCHE JAN]

I would never use a ‘+’ in a print statement. It is an extra concatenation 
action, which is unnecessary in a print. Use ; instead.

With that in mind, I would write Stephen’s code as followes:

10 PRINTE;"pFile to Convert ";E;"q";
And for George:

PRINT CR$;CHR$(Y);CHR$(X);

Actually, what does CHR$(27)+CHR$(89) do ?

FWIW, I always used print@ to position the cursor. So, that code would become:

Y=3REM line numbers from 0-7
X=14   REM positions from 0-39
PRINT@(Y*40+X),;

That works everywhere, except for the last position on screen, where Y=7 and 
X=39 .

Ah well, the finesses/limitations of BASIC.

Hi Stephen,

It’s funny you sent this, I was about to post. I’m trying to use the Escape 
Sequences to reposition the cursor to the location of Y,X.

I’ve got

Y=3
X=14
CR$=CHR$(27)+CHR$(89)
PRINT CR$+CHR$(Y)+CHR$(X);

I’ve already turned on the cursor earlier.

Do I just have the wrong syntax? I also noticed that the strings to concatenate 
without use of + while testing this.

Hi Steve.

I think I actually used this technique of auto string concatenation in one (or 
all) of my BASIC 10-Liners. Which reminds me, I never actually got the 
documentation done for 2 of those.  I should do that and post the other 2 games 
to personal libraries.

I am reminded of the one line basic program activity.  sometimes BASIC can
be so compact.

Here is a way to do a WHILE statement or and endless loop as part of a one
line program

FOR I=1 to2:?i:I=I-1:ifinkey$="a"theni=i+1:nextelsenext

Huh! I don’t remember ever seeing that, and I’ve typed in a lot of MS BASIC

I don't know, would have to research the manual a bit.
The other way is to  call POSIT, that is fast and simple to do.

Hi Stephen,

Sequences to reposition the cursor to the location of Y,X.

 

I’ve got

 

Y=3

X=14

Do I just have the wrong syntax? I also noticed that the strings to concatenate
