X-Hacker.org- Turbo Basic - <b>lprint output to lpt1:</b> http://www.X-Hacker.org [<<Previous Entry] [^^Up^^] [Next Entry>>] [Menu] [About The Guide]
LPRINT                   Output to LPT1:

 LPRINT [exprlist] [;]

    Prints one or more numeric or string expressions to LPT1:.

    exprlist    Numeric and/or string expressions to print. Each
                expression must be separated from the one after it by
                either a comma or a semicolon.

           ;    If included at the end of the statement, suppresses the
                usual carriage return and line feed.

   -------------------------------------------------------------------------

      Notes:    LPRINT with no argument sends a carriage return-line feed
                pair.

                Turbo Basic divides the output field into zones of 14
                character positions. If an expression is followed by a
                comma, Turbo Basic prints the next expression at the
                beginning of the next zone. If an expression is followed
                by a semicolon or space character, Turbo Basic prints the
                next expression directly after the previous one.

                If the last expression in the list to be displayed is
                followed by a comma, a semicolon, SPC, or TAB, Turbo Basic
                spaces appropriately and suppresses the carriage return-
                line feed pair. Otherwise, Turbo Basic issues a carriage
                return and line feed after executing an LPRINT statement.

                Turbo Basic assumes a maximum line length of 80
                characters, unless a different value has been specified by
                means of a WIDTH "LPT1:" statement. Turbo Basic sends a
                carriage return-line feed pair when the maximum line
                length has been reached. Therefore, for example, if you
                LPRINT an 80-character string (and do not follow the
                string expression with a semicolon), you will get two
                carriage return-line feed pairs.
