wow i worked out something else......

if i did this...


it would print out the first 2 names: george and bob.

so it seems that everytime i do read string it goes to the next line. but then my next question is how would i go about going back to the first line or something?? that is, without closing the file and then opening it again??

Here.



Check the source box below if there is a problem

btw the reason why it prints 1-10 is because you used the str$() function. That makes a string out of any number or string you have in the parenthesis. The point is, go dload darkedit and you can easily tell which are keywords and which are not.
