problem with read.s string{size}

[gabriel]

Hello:
I've problem with this small program, using data, restore, read seems not working with fixed size strings, why?

Code: Select all

Define str.s{100}, str1.s

Restore label1
Read.s str
Read.s str1
Debug str
Debug str1
End


DataSection
label1:  Data.s  "Hello", "world"
EndDataSection

Thank you

You can't do that. Data in datasections must be of a basic native type:

Defines data. The type can only be a native basic type (integer, long, word, byte, ascii, unicode, float, double, quad, character, string).

As a fixedstring cannot reside in the datasection, it can't be read from there either. You could read it into a temporary string var and assign it from there to a fixedstring var.
