Re: Merging three files together?

Show all headers | View raw

The following bytes were arranged on 1 Apr 2012 by Roger Darlington :

> SPOOL "<!Genus_Fam$Dir>.GeneraToFamilyInfo/htm"
> PRINT "<!Genus_Fam$Dir>.Header"
> PRINT "<!Genus_Fam$Dir>.Middle"
> PRINT "<!Genus_Fam$Dir>.Footer"
> *Spool

While it won't solve your fundamental problem of this being a filthy
bodge which really should have a better solution, this will at least be
slightly quicker:

(Note: The following should be three single lines!)

*Copy <!Genus_Fam$Dir>.Header <!Genus_Fam$Dir>.GeneraToFamilyInfo/htm ~C~VF
*Print <!Genus_Fam$Dir>.Middle { >> <!Genus_Fam$Dir>.GeneraToFamilyInfo/htm }
*Print <!Genus_Fam$Dir>.Footer { >> <!Genus_Fam$Dir>.GeneraToFamilyInfo/htm }

> Is there a simpler and quicker way (within BASIC).

What are you on about?  There's no such thing as a SPOOL command in
BASIC, and the PRINT keyword certainly doesn't behave as you imply
above!
