Modifying a jbasic program using a jbasic program.

[sirbop]

Hello



I'm using a jbasic program to modify another jbasic program.



When I try and execute the modified program I get a

"BASIC Compile Halted: Syntax error" on the first

line of the modified code even when the line

contains something as simple as:

PrinterFont$="courier new 15 bold"


I've tried creating the new file with and without the .bas file type.




I am using J Basic release 2.0

with OS Name Microsoft Windows 11 Home

Version 10.0.22000 Build 22000





Any help will be greatly appreciated.



Thanks

Ted

Difficult to generalise since you don't show us the JB code of the altering file nor its target.
But fontnames have to have spaces replaced by undercores= try-
PrinterFont$="courier_new 15 bold"

Found the problem. I was using INPUT when I should have used LINE INPUT.

Thanks
