I was wondering what the code statement for suppressing the carrige return (geeky name) or stopping the compiler from adding a space after a line of code is?
IE:
Code:
PRINT "hello"
PRINT name$
Output :
Hello
bob

I want to have both on the same line IE
"Hello bob"

How do i do this?
Is their a way to print regular text with a variable using one line of code?

Apparently :



still puts the text on each line (with P3.1) (which it shouldn't), so you'll probably have to use the SET CURSOR command

Good news everyone! I really am THAT good...
Oh my, yes...

I know in regular ol' basic (at least the one i fiddled with) there was a function that stopped the automatic line down thingy. Hmmm I can't believe that you can't put a variable and text on the same line, as you can do it in almost everyother language. Well hopefully you wandering DB gods can help me out.
Thanks

Using "Set Cursor X,Y" you can put text anywhere. Just put that before the print command.

DBPro does recognize the semicolon as a carriage return inhibitor when suffixing a print statement.
But there is a bug where it will not function for the very first print statement in a DBP program. The following snippet will demonstrate it.
