| <paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3145749" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="6"> |
| <emph>FileNumber:</emph> Number of the file that contains the data that you want to read. The file must be opened with the Open statement using the key word INPUT.</paragraph> |
| <paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3150011" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="7"> |
| <emph>var:</emph> A numeric or string variable that you assign the values read from the opened file to.</paragraph> |
| <paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3159153" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="8">The <emph>Input#</emph> statement reads numeric values or strings from an open file and assigns the data to one or more variables. A numeric variable is read up to the first carriage return (Asc=13), line feed (Asc=10), space, or comma. String variables are read to up to the first carriage return (Asc=13), line feed (Asc=10), or comma.</paragraph> |
| <paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3146984" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="9">Data and data types in the opened file must appear in the same order as the variables that are passed in the "var" parameter. If you assign non-numeric values to a numeric variable, "var" is assigned a value of "0".</paragraph> |

Quotation marks (") in the file are disregarded as well. If you want to read these characters from the file, use the <emph>Line Input#</emph> statement to read pure text files (files containing only printable characters) line by line.</paragraph> |
| <paragraph role="paragraph" id="par_id3147349" xml-lang="en-US" l10n="U" oldref="11">If the end of the file is reached while reading a data element, an error occurs and the process is aborted.</paragraph> |
