I am making a text adventure for my first ever game, and I am using arrays for user input synonyms:

DIM take$(2)
directions$(1)="take"
directions$(2)="pick up"

How do you put a variable after "take" and "pick up" for whatever the user specifies? Would it be better to use a parser? Where can I get one for DarkBasic?

Thanks,
Jack

to put a variable to it, just add it with the + operator:

when the variable is a string:
direction$(1) = "take" + variable$

when the variable is an number:
direction$(1) = "take" + str$(variable)
OR
direction$(1) = "take" + str$(variable#)

(str$() converts a nr to a string.)
