Hello, I'm a beinner at Pascal, (Ok was 10years since I did someting serious) and have noticed a strange thing when compiling with 2.0.2 version.
This is the part where I read a TEXT file with numbers. Procedure Openfile; { Module 1 } VAR Infile : Text; Filename : String[12]; num : String[2]; // <----------------- Notice string of lenght 2 temp : String[1]; tempnum,slask: integer; BEGIN Write('Input Name Of file: '); Readln(Filename); Assign(Infile,Filename); Reset(Infile); Count := 0; While Not EOF(Infile) DO BEGIN Inc(count); IF Count > MaxRow THEN Error; FOR i := 1 TO 6 DO BEGIN Read(Infile,Num);write(Num);Readln; {* <<--- this is suppose to read One number at a time, width 6 *) Val(Num,tempnum,slask); Wheel[count,i] := tempnum; Read(Infile,temp); END; Readln(Infile); END; Close(Infile); END; My original file starts with 01 04 22 26 36 49 01 04 22 29 39 45 01 04 22 31 33 38 01 04 27 29 35 38 01 05 07 30 31 47 Compiled with 1.0.6 on AMD 900Mhz the output is 01 04 22 26 36 49 01 04 22 29 39 45 01 04 22 31 33 Compiled with 2.0.2 on 2600+ AMD (Both WinXP Pro) the output is 01 04 22 26 39 49 With the EXACT same code compiled with different versions of Freepascal, one reads the string[2] as 2 letter and the other version reads the entire line as string[2]. please can anyone explain this to and possible find a solution Regards Peter Rosendahl _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
