LINE INPUT will now use the faster method if passed a file handle that has been opened FOR BINARY. As such, the _BLINEINPUT command has been removed. qb64.bas now takes advantage of this for reading from '$include files, at least in Include Manager 1. Some tweaking of internal/source/main.txt was required to get things into a sane state, so I'm holing off changing the compiler any further so the auto-builder can make sure everything's smoothed over. Note: Everything should still compile as normal; I'm just being overcautious.

The '''semicolon''' is used in a [[PRINT]] statement to stop the screen print cursor immediately after the printed value.

* Positive numerical values [[PRINT|printed]] will include a space before and after each value printed. Strings will not have spacing.
|
|
* Use the [[WRITE]] statement to print values with only commas between the values and no spacing.
|
|
* A semicolon can append the next print when used at the end of a [[PRINT]] statement.
|
|
* Use a semicolon after text that will be [[PRINT|printed]] on the last two text rows of a [[SCREEN (statement)|screen mode]] to prevent screen rolling.
|
|
* [[INPUT]] statements can use the semicolon '''before''' the text to prevent screen rolling. '''INPUT ; "text or question"; variable'''.
|
|
* A semicolon '''after''' the text will create a question mark and space after the [[INPUT]] text question. Use a comma for statements.
|
|
* '''NOTE: Semicolons can NOT be used to combine string variables in a string variable definition!'''
|
|
* Use the '''+''' [[concatenation]] operator to combine [[STRING|string]] variable definition values only!
|
|
* [[Semicolon]]s cannot be used in or following a [[WRITE]] statement!
