<B>INPUT # Get Input from Sequential File or Device</B>
<B>INPUT</B> <B>#</B><U>filenum</U>, <U>variable</U> [,<U>variable</U>]...
Receives input from a sequential file or device and assigns it to one
or more numeric or string variables.
<U>filenum</U> The number under which the input file was OPENed. It may
refer to a disk file, a communications file, or the
keyboard (KYBD:).
<U>variable</U> The name of a variable (string or numeric) that will
receive input.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
<B>Notes:</B> The input data must match in type the variable(s) in the
INPUT # statement.
String input need not be enclosed within quote marks,
unless it contains one or more line feeds or carriage
returns or a significant quote mark or comma.
When receiving string input, QuickBASIC looks for the
first character other than a space, line feed, or carriage
return. If that character is a quote mark, QuickBASIC
considers the string to be everything from the character
following the quote mark up to the next quote mark. If the
first character is not a quote mark, QuickBASIC terminates
the string when it encounters a line feed, a carriage
return, or a comma--or when it has received 255
characters.
When receiving numeric input, QuickBASIC ignores leading
carriage returns, line feeds, and spaces, and it
terminates the input when it encounters a carriage return,
a line feed, or a comma.
