no. You would use this:
Input "filename:", filename$
Open to read 1,filename$
or
Input "filename:", name$
Open to read 1,name$
or
Input "filename:", blahblah$
Open to read 1,blahblah$
You could use anything as the variable, as long as these two are the same:
Input "filename:",
blahblah$
Open to read 1,
blahblah$
Or else, it will try to load "" nothing! You need to use the same variable, so it could use the variable that the user typed in to chose the file to open.
For this:
Input "filename:", filename$
Open to read 1,name$
When, the user types in the filename, it goes into the filename$ variable. So you could use the filename$ variable for lots of stuff, like:
Print "This is the file that you chose:"
Print filename$
and
Open to read 1,filename$
as long as its spelled the same and is the exact same variable you're using. If you did this, and then you tried to do this:
Open to read 1,name$
It wouldn't load anything, because the name$ variable isn't storing anything.
