proportional input

[Andrik]

Hi there,

The PRINT command has this nice parameter with which you can swith between fixed and proportional printing. Is there a way to get the same result with the INPUT command?
Proportional printing?

Yes, the same syntax that print.

It has been requested - so it's possible it may be added at some point in the future...

[ampos]

LOL, it was requested by me long time ago and implemented by Gernot. Just use the same syntax as print for proportional input. Isn't it on the help file?

[MrTAToad]

Ah yes - it works well

Shows how often I use INPUT$

[Andrik]

When I use the following command:
INPUT name$, 180,100,TRUE

I get the following error when compiling:
error : wrong number of aguments : "INPUT" called with 4 args. Required: 3 to 3

So there doesn't seem to be a proportional parameter for input??

I use the free version of GLbasic, downloaded it a week ago, so I'm sure it's a current version.

any thoughts?

Check your version number again, there is a 4th parameter, i just tested it.

[Andrik]

darn! you're right!! Seems I installed an old download, version 9 something.

well thanks for the help! Input look a lot better now

If there is an old download link somewhere were it should not be, plz report this, so it can get fixed.
