In Reply to: Opening files with Pascal posted by daniel on January 15, 19100 at 11:28:32:
: I have set up a program to read lines of text from a file, putting each line in a separate variable, but when the program displays the content of these variables, it will sometimes place trash typing after the actual content. Why is this? Please email me if you know
: thanks
Try setting the variables to blank strings before reading.
Pascal does not clear the memory to which variables have been assigned, and therefore the variable may contain 'trash' once created.
