PickBASIC / FlashBASIC

%fgetc() function

The %fgetc() function returns the next character from the named input stream.

Syntax

var = %fgetc((char*)strea)m

Description

The character is returned as a number. Normal usage would override the type (see the example below). The getc() and getchar() system functions cannot be used because they are macros, rather than functions.

Example(s)

c=(char)%fgetc((char*) stream)
crt c

Note the character type casting to override the default (int) type.
