Reads in a string of up to 255 characters.
LINE INPUT [;] [prompt_string; ] string_variable
LINE INPUT [#] file_number, string_variable
Although the INPUT statement interprets as comma as a separator between two entries, the LINE INPUT statement does not. The LINE INPUT statement reads all characters up to the carriage return and assigns them to a string variable.
If present, the semicolon immediately following the keyword INPUT directs LINE INPUT to leave the cursor on the same line after the user presses Enter.
prompt_string is an optional message that directs the user to enter data.
string_variable is the string variable to which LINE INPUT assigns the information entered.
file_number is the file number assigned to the file in its OPEN statement.
LINE INPUT "Enter last name, first name, MI: "; fullname$
PRINT fullname$
