I glanced at some doc and your manner of creating a variable is rather
opinionated.

You can test for successful file opening thusly:

 if (not open(#1,"test.dat","r")) print "Can't open the file!"

Opening test.dat in the current directory, reading and printing its
contents, which are:

 one two three 
 four five 
 six seven eight nine

code:

 open 1,"test.dat","r" 
 while(!eof(1))
  input #1 a$ 
  line input b$ 
  print "a$=\"",a$,"\", b$=\"",b$,"\"" 
 wend

To create a variable (and then open and read that):

 a=open("foo")
 input #a a$

I ain't no programmer, but sure is butt ugly.
