Input String???

Hi, I am very new to BASIC, and I just want to know how to input a string

thanks

dimava

string variables have to have a $ at the end of the name

Code:

---

INPUT "What is your name"; name$

---

that type of thing

if you want to input a string having a comma etc..

use

Code:

---

LINE INPUT A$

---

using ; in the input statement would give a '?' prompt.. you can remove that by using a comma instead of ;

eg:

Code:

---

INPUT "Name:", n$

---

Kagey, Name$ cannot be used as a variable because it is a reserved word in BASIC.. used to rename a file

thanks guys :)
