Examples of function form of OPEN?

[Antoni Gual]

Does someone have a working example of the new function form of OPEN, CLOSE, GET #, PUT#?

What do they return?

Will they save us from calling FREEFILE before each OPEN?


And what's the use of PIPE: ?

Sometimes a simple changelog is not enough...

OPEN, CLOSE, GET and PUT return 0 if no errors happened, and the runtime error (1 or above) otherwise.

OPEN is the clumsiest, due it's syntax (keywords used instead of constants etc)

if open( filename for input as #1 ) then and if open( filename, for input, as #1 ) are both valid.
