Thanks, bye. It depends what you're trying to do. If you want to convert a string to an integer, you may try atoi or atol. > I've noticed that if I don't press "enter" after the last "}", the compiler won't find > the "}": I've lost half an hour to understand that!! ;-) You're right, this is a compiler bug. When reading a new line, the last character gets removed because for all lines with the exception of the last one, this is always the linefeed character. If the last line does not have a linefeed character, some other character gets removed, and in your case this was the curly brace. I will fix that. Thanks for the hint. > Should it be hard to add the scanf function? (Sorry, but I still don't know how > CC65 works!) The scanf family of functions is rather complex, even more complex than the printf familiy. This does not mean that there is a problem implementing scanf, the real problem is the memory footprint: The printf function alone adds about 4k of code, since it references in all sorts of support functions, even if you don't use them. For a scanf implementation in C the memory footprint would be even larger. So the solution would be to (re-)write these functions in assembler, to save some code. But writing stuff in assember is much more time consuming than using C.
