BY MIKE MAYNARD.. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE
YOU READ A.TEXT FILE THAT STARTED WITH
THE.FAMILIAR SAYING "HOW MANY TIMES HAVE

HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU WISHED.THAT

TTING WHEN A COMMA WAS.REACHED IN A DATA
FILE? WISH NO MORE!.THIS MONTH'S BITS
DESCRIBES AN ML.ROUTINE THAT READS DATA
FROM THE DISK.DRIVE AND STORES IT IN THE
FIRST-.DEFINED STRING.... THE ROUTIN
E, INPUT ANY, WAS.WRITTEN A FEW YEARS AG

S BEEN USED.IN MANY DIFFERENT PROGRAMS.
IT'S VERY.USEFUL FOR INPUTTING DATA FRO
