READ
Syntax: #REA filename
#REA n [rec] _noexpand
#REA n [rec] [arguments]
Open the file given by filename and read it line by line, executing each line. This allows you to store commands in a script file and then execute this script. Typically the #KILLALL command will be used to clear memory before reading the file.
The second form of this command reads data from the nth file (opened with the FILE command). If n is 1-5, then the file is a text file and rec is the line number to read. If rec is zero or omitted, the next sequential line is read. If n is 6-10, then the file is a structured file, and the record indicated by rec is read. If rec is zero or omitted, the next record is read.
When reading from a file, argument references such as %1 are normally expanded using the arguments given in the #READ command. If the third parameter is _noexpand, then the line from the file is executed without replacing arguments.
READ examples
