AMOS:Reading textfiles
AMOS on default uses two characters to tell where a line end, while Amiga texteditors usually use only one character (line feed). So to read a textfile which was created on an Amiga use:
Set Input 10,-1
Common used newline codes
Operating systems differ in which characters they use to tell where a line ends.
In this table you see a list of the most common combinations and what arguments to use for Set Input to be able to read those textfiles:
| Operating system | AMOS | character names |
|---|---|---|
| Amiga/Linux/MAC OS X | Set Input 10,-1 | (LF) |
| Atari/MSDOS/Windows | Set Input 13,10 | (CR+LF) (AMOS default) |
| C64 | Set Input 13,-1 | (CR) |
