W0 var word
highin var PORTB 'for input of the inputs pins
PEEK PORTB, W0 'to take a look at port b and see if
'if any inputs are high.

Here are some of the errors I am getting.

ERROR Line 12: ':' or '=' Expected (Token 'var') (Security.pbc)
ERROR Line 13: ':' or '=' Expected (Token 'var') (Security.pbc)
ERROR Line 15: Variable or Constant Expected (Token 'PORTB') (Security.pbc)
ERROR Line 15: End of Line or ':' Expected (Token ',') (Security.pbc)

So far this is as far as I have gotten. I am confident that If I can solve these errors I will be better off than I was before.

Are you using PicBasicPro or PicBasic? Where did you buy it from?

And I suggest you start off with the standard Blinky LED project if you're just getting into PBP. Get that done and you'll be a lot better off...

I now know what was up. The microcode studio software found the old picbasic that was still installed. I was trying to use picbasic pro commands and it was trying to compile using the picbasic only. I changed that AND no more errors.

Thank you for your assistance.

I would still like to know though will the peek command read pins and ports?

The answer awaits you in the manual.

Yep your right about that. Manual is my new best friend as I proceed onward.

I take it that you found the answer to all your questions...at least until next time, yes?

Yep all is going well now, except for the if then else things. IT keeps telling me that i have a 'then' not preceeded by an if. Also 'else' not proceeded by an if or a then.

I suppose A little more study will be required to figure this one out.

Well then, try this:

IF you post your code THEN
somebody around here might be able to help you
ELSE
nobody will be able to figure out what you're trying to do
