For some reason I'm having problems with the restore command.


If you check the file attached, you can see the problem in the editing "play" section.

Apparently I can only restore to play one time to read data before it stops working and refuses to read. Help please

I guess your problem might be using the label 'play', since it is part of several keywords. Why not try changing it to MyDataLabel: or something else and retrying?

Didn't work but i noticed something new. It works occasionlly. It will work once, error a few times, work again, error some more, etc.

doesn't the RESTORE command just restore one line? can't you just do restore, so it restores the data pointer to the first data string?

[edit]
this just works fine, it only prints 1s and 2s and no 3s and 4s

Hmm, that also did nada. Further study reveals that it will only work on the first code inputted but only on 2 error intervals.

It looks like it's restoring fine to me. But you're reading the data way too much.



Here you have a FOR/NEXT loop to read the data starting at the label Play from 1 to the size of the array (I assume 14) and you read comint from the data. The first data statement after Play is "data 14" which makes the variable comint=14. Next you do this:



Which is another FOR/NEXT loop from 1 to 14. So you have two loops around each other both counting from 1 to 14... so you're reading the 14 lines of data 14 times. Each time it RESTOREs to Play perfectly.

Add this under "read codenum$, statement$, statement2$" to see what I mean.


Do you really need 14 copies of the same data? It actually stopped working on me too after restoring to play about 70 times (running it several times). Since it seems unstable why not use a file instead of DATA? You don't even have to use codenum$. You can use the array index number as the code number.

Ah ok, I see what you're saying. I will get right on that after I finish cleaning the house. Thanks a lot there!
