So, I have this so far:


Code:


What I'd like to be able to do is specify a line number to start in, and continue down. This current code only works for the first 6 lines.

What would need to happen is something like:

1. Put number in I
2. Goto A

In A:

1. Check if there are 6 more lines in front of the given line, so the text labels don't overflow the screen
2. Check if there aren't more than 6 lines in front of the given line (number of lines - current line <= 6)
3. Use a For( loop with the variables A,B,C to list the data in the given line as well as the lines ahead of it (6 max)

It seems simple, but I'm finding it hard to "twist" my current code to accomplish that goal. Can anyone help me out?

I'm not quite sure what you're asking. Could you step us through an example usage?

Sure.

Okay, so basically, imagine that you have six boxes on a screen. You have to read from an AppVar and put each line of it in those six boxes.

First, you have to find the correct AppVar. I do this by searching for the AppVar whose first line is "NOTELIST" - this is like a makeshift header.
Then, you have to check if that AppVar has enough lines to fill every box. Next, you have to actually read the AppVar and put the information in each box.

So, say you have an AppVar that looks like this:


Code:



If you did, say, 1 -> I, the first box would contain Eggs, the next Milk, the next Lettuce, etc.

Now, say you did 4 -> I, the boxes would look like this:


Code:


Notice how the last 2 boxes are empty.

Now, say you had an AppVar that looked like:


Code:


And I = 2, the first box would contain Am, the second A, the third List, etc.

This is basically what I want to accomplish.

I would do this in BatLib, using the newline BASIC token to seperate lines, I imagine you've probably done this already?

Code:

The specificed data would be stored in Ans. I would check to make sure my DBRead syntax is correct though. This is certainly possible in other Libs, but BatLib is what I know best as of now.
