Using arrays as INPUT variables

[jjarrell]

Can you use arrays as an input variable?

The first code generates this error when compiling.

Error: INPUT unsupported for variable of given datatype (name, ARRAY)

Code: Select all

DIM name$(10)	
INPUT "What name will you go by? ",name$(1)
PRINT name$(1)
WAIT KEY RELEASE

This code compiles but just takes an extra step.

Code: Select all

DIM name$(10)
INPUT "What name will you go by? ",plyName$
name$(1)=plyName$
PRINT name$(1)
WAIT KEY RELEASE
