Introduction and Overview
BASIC files are tokenised when stored as file type BASIC (&FFB). Usually the tokenisation process it performed by the BASIC module. However, this isn't always possible - for example, if the process is being run on a non-RISC OS system. The *BASICTokenise tool can be used to convert untokenised BASIC Text (filetype &FD1) to Tokenised BASIC.
*Commands
*BASICTokenise
Convert a BASIC Text file to tokenised BASIC file
*BASICTokenise
input
output
<input> | - | filename of the text file to read |
<output> | - | filename of the tokenised BASIC file to write to |
This command is used to tokenise a textual BASIC program. *BASICTokenise will process the text file to produce a BASIC file.
The tool is only capable of converting simple BASIC code, without line number references.
