 CGI Programming in BASIC

Hello,

Is there any interest here in the possibility
of being able to write CGI programs for the web
in BASIC?

I don't want to explain what CGI is in
this particular message because that would
probably skew the response considerably.

Well, OK, I won't be such a jerk:

http://www.*-*-*.com/

Is a good FAQ about the WWW that explains
CGI along with many other things.

I suppose you're using the INPUT-statement:

Input "What's your name ";Name$

will print the question mark whereas

Input "What's your name",Name$

won't. So you a comma instead of a semicolon.

When you input something, just do this:

      INPUT "C:>", YourVariable$

The comma at the end gets rid of the "?"

In stead of:

 input "C:>"; a$

use:

 input "C:>", a$

Simple!

I never use INPUT, but always LINE INPUT.

LINE INPUT "type stuff here -----------> ";A$

When reading sequential files, use LINE INPUT# 1,A$ then parse out the
string.

You wanted to know how to ask something without that little question mark?
( C:> instead of C:>? )

Just use a comma in place of the ;

ex..

INPUT "C:\",A$
You can also use LINE INPUT
