statements (beginning with
rem
or
')
or
to
delete
all
spaces
between
basic
keywords. Spaces
inside
quotes will not
be deleted.
Example
Your program
reads
as
follows:
850 RESTORE: ON
ERROR GOTO 800 'DOG
PROGRAM
860 READ
COMPANY*
'PET
STORE
870 PRINT
RIGHT$(C0MPANY*»2)»: GOTO 8G0
880 END
If
you want
to
delete the
Remarks
(lines
850 and
860), type
in
the
command:
CMD"C"
»R
and the
program
will
now
read:
850 RESTORE: ON
ERROR GOTO 800
8G0 READ COMPANY*
870 PRINT
RIGHT*(C0MPANY*»2>
t:G0T0 8G0
880 END
If
you
then
wanted
to delete
the spaces, type
in:
CMD"C"
»S
and
the
program would
read:
850 RESTORE
:
ONERRORGOTO800
860
READCOMPANY*
870
PRINTRIGHT*(C0MPANY*»2)
,:GOTO8G0
880 END
You
could obtain the
same
results
by
typing:
CMD"C"
Note:
Always provide the closing
quotes
on
string literals in
your basic
program. Otherwise
cmd"C"
may
not function properly.
For example,
in
10
PRINT "THIS
IS
A
TEST"
the
second quote should be used even though omitting
it
will
not cause
an
error.
