Reads a list of values from a text file
Syntax
Input # filenum, variable_list
Parameters
filenum
a file number bound to a file or device
variable_list
a list of variables used to hold the values read
Description
Reads from a text file through a bound file number a delimiter-separed set of values and writes them in reading order into the variables in
variable_list. If a variable is numeric the read value is converted from its string representation into the corresponding type.
Numeric values are converted similar to the procedures
Val and
ValLng, using the most appropriate function for the number format.
Delimiters may be commas or line breaks. (Whitespace is also treated as a separator after numbers.) . A string including a comma or a whitespace must be surronded by double quotes.
To read an entire line into a string, use
Line Input instead .
Write # can be used to create a file readable with
Input #.
Example
Dim a As Integer
Dim b As String
Dim c As Single
Open "myfile.txt" For Output As #1
Write #1, 1, "Hello, World", 34.5
Close #1
Open "myfile.txt" For Input As #1
Input #1, a, b, c
Close #1
Print a, b, c
