An:e[/b] An:x-y |
n represents the file number (NOT optional) and must be 3 - 999 decimal. |
|
e specifies the element number within the ASCII file. It must be 0 - 999 decimal. Each element in an ASCII file contains two ASCII characters. |
|
|
b is optional. If specified, it indicates the bit (0 - 15 decimal). |
|
|
x and y also specify element numbers. In this form, the item is an ASCII string occupying element x through element y. Each element contains two ASCII characters: the first character is the high-order byte and the second is the low-order, and so on. |
Note: If reading only one word as a two-character string, the range must be "x-x." For example, A20:3-3.
Examples:
A20:3
A10:0/0
A9:0-19 (40-character ASCII string)
