In PICBASIC can someone tell me how a long line is continued on to the next line? I have a very long lookup table that won't fit on one line. (I tried ",_" plus carriage return, -didn't work).

Thanks

Hi stratus,

Yes, it is the underscore for the Line-extension character.

It's described in section 4.14 of the PBP manual.

My guess is that you had one too many commas in there.

HTH,
Darrel

Thanks Darrel. Seems that works for PBP, unfortunately not plain PB. But now I know to stop trying.

Oops, people usually call it PBC, I thought you meant PBP, sorry!

If that's the compiler you are using, there's another forum dedicated to that version.

mel PIC BASIC (http://www.picbasic.co.uk/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=3)

It's probably better than posting in the "FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions" area.

Best regards,
Darrel
