I'd like to create a text string to parse through for displaying menus...
I know, there are functions to use an external screen, but working on a command
shell, that I'd like to have everything internal.. already have some of the
functions down, for like menu headers and prompts... but the parsing for the
menu options is getting to me..
also, is there a way to get an internal @ code to translate... I created a sub
that will center a block of text in a given size, the only problem is that when
I seem to use an @ code, it doesn't translate before the strlen goes.. :(
anyways, back to the need at hand, an example on parsing a string would be
really helpfull... :) there doesn't seem to be a means of getting a substring,
or the position of a substring in a file.
example of what I want to parse...
M,Message Menu;F,FileMenu;
would parse out to...
[M] Message Menu
[F] File Menu
Also, any examples on reading in from a file would be great... :)
