no LOCATE pseudo function

[pkali]

Cannot locate LOCATE :)

BTW - of course a better LOCATE would be a real function like
v=LOCATE(x,y)

Hi!

v=LOCATE(x,y)

Yes, I did not implement LOCATE because I never used that function in my programs :)

Currently you can do:
POSITION x, y : GET #6,z

Do you have an use case?

[dmsc]

Hi,

v=LOCATE(x,y)

About implementing it as a function (sing CIO), it will not always work, because you can't interleave the I/O inside PRINT statements. Doing PRINT "Hello "; LOCATE(x,y); " world" would move the cursor and redirect "world" to I/O channel #6.

Thanks for comment! Workaround with POSITION is good, I should get it when looking at sources of FB.
And of course I've got a use case in a silly tenliner :]

I will leave the issue open, as it is missing compared with Atari BASIC and TurboBasic XL.

This was fixed at commit 6bccb61 , forgot to close.
