How can i read a file line by line?

Also, how would i be able to split a line read from the file using a coma as a delimeter?

The file layout is like this;

#settings
blah
blah2
blah3

#main
bleh,bleh,bleh
123a,123b,123c
foo,foo,foo,foo

#.......


Any ideas?
Thanks!

I think read string$ reads it line by line. As to the comma delimiting, you'll have to set up a function to do it yourself. Get the length of the string, then step through it using a for loop, appending every character to a string using mid$ until you get to a comma, then do it until you reach the end of the string.

Its not a bug, its a feature!
