Statement GET

Read one byte from the open INPUT file.

Syntax

GET variable

Parameters

Parameter	Meaning
`variable`	Destination A–Z; receives 0–255.

Behavior

Uses a 256-byte internal cache. Reading past EOF produces status 38; check the EOF expression before the next GET. The underlying file reader checks data integrity as it reaches EOF.

Example

10 OPEN "bytes",INPUT
20 IF EOF THEN 60
30 GET A
40 PRINT A
50 GOTO 20
60 CLOSE
70 END

Limits and diagnostics

Requires an INPUT data file. There is no file-number argument or string GET.
