GWbasic

[alanuk]

I am trying to print out or at least copy to a text file some GWbasic programs which I want to convert to PB. Being a DOS program I can't see a way to use cut and paste to the clipboard.

I need the files to retain their original format, ie line numbers etc.

I've never used GWbasic, so I am not very familiar with it.

Any ideas please?

you cant just open and save them in txt file?

Open the file with GWBasic, then save it with the ,a switch like this:

Code: Select all

SAVE"hello.bas",a

Then you can open hello.bas in notepad or another text editor and see all the origrinal formatting.

Hope this helps.
