OPEN a txt file

[bouchad]

Hello,

I am having issues with using OPEN command on a notepad file I have saved.

Here is the string:

PRINT "High/Low Game Program 4"

PRINT "Enter your name at the prompt"

INPUT Name$



Count=0

Answer$="Yes"

numbertoGuess=INT(RND(0)*10)+1



OPEN "NumberList1.txt"



DO WHILE Answer$="Yes"

Count=Count+1

PRINT

PRINT "A guess is input from the file"

INPUT#1, myGuess

PRINT "The guess is: "; myGuess



IF myGuess=numbertoGuess THEN

PRINT "Congratulations ";

PRINT Name$ ;

PRINT " you got it!"

PRINT "The number to be guessed is: ";numberToGuess

Answer$="No"

END IF



IF myGuess>numberToGuess THEN

PRINT "Your guess is too high process another guess"

END IF



IF MyGuess<numberToGuess THEN

PRINT "Your guess is too low process another guess"

END IF



LOOP



CLOSE#1

PRINT

PRINT "Game Over ";

PRINT Name$

PRINT "Your Score is: ";Count


I get a SYNTAX error on the OPEN "NumberList1.txt" line.

I have saved this Notepad file as where JustBasic is located, if that makes a difference. 

This is what the NotePad file looks like:

1

2

3

4

5

6

7

8

9

10

eof

Well, it's not

OPEN "NumberList1.txt"
But

OPEN "NumberList1.txt" for input as #1

Yeah tsh73 just gave you syntax to open a file to read, but you read it line by line as input #1, aFileLine$ until you reach EOF(#1) = True
From help:
open "testfile" for input as #1
if eof(#1) < 0 then [skipIt]
[loop]
input #1, text$
print text$
if eof(#1) = 0 then [loop]
[skipIt]
close #1

Then to write to file, starting a whole new file:
Open file$ for output as #1
print #1, aFileLine$
'... as much as you need
close #1 'when done.

Don't know why you need to use files with the Hi/Lo Game???

So it does work after change (just made a fiew runs).
