>Don't you want 'ReadLn' ? >What does Read do anyway
Read character by character instead of line by line. Both useful for different things, read is more precise. Say if your file was not delimted by lines. (pipes, commas, etc.) Readln() is essentially a wrapper for Read() Read finds CRLF's or LF's and reports back to the readln function. hope i'm not patronizing _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
