[snip] > IMHO, Quick Basic is the ideal language to write any text parser in .. > > >J. Koss (jkoss@snet.net) I agree. Handling text files and parsing is much easier, because you're not restricted to "easily" reading a line of text to a length of 255 characters. Line Input pretty much takes whatever gets in its way. The bottom line is that I beleive each language has it's strengths and each has it's weaknesses.
