Data Read Function

Hi DJ Sures... @DJ

Really been enjoying scripting over the holiday period.... even took my EZ-Bee with me to the beach to work on in the evenings... (It's peak of the summer here in NZ!)

Anyway I have a function request for the "things to do" list.

The read from file is awesome and great for larger volumes but I think it would be good to also be able to read smaller preset data sets from within the script.


eg.
10 # Read Dataset example
60 :Loop
70 if ($x<5)
80 read $A
90 Saywait ("$A")
90 Endif
100 goto (Loop)
110
120 halt ()
130 # May need an Dataset identifier here
140 Data 10, 32767
150 Data apple, orange, peach, pear, plum,
160 Data DJ Sures Rocks, Flattery gets us everywhere


PS.
May also need a way of selecting which dataset to use for the adept scripter who wants multiple data sets in a script


PSS.
Now that I have posted and edited I realise I can do this with a variable and the split and contains functions... a little messier but still 'functional'.
(Lol - Old Programmer humour)
