Get Instruction
Syntax
Get StreamNum, [RecordNum], var
Group
Description
Get a variable's value from StreamNum.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| StreamNum | Streams 1 through 255 are private to each macro. Streams 256 through 511 are shared by all macros. |
| RecordNum | For Random mode files this is the record number. The first record is 1. Otherwise, it is the byte position. The first byte is 1. If this is omitted then the current position (or record number) is used. |
| ar | This variable
value is read from the file. For a fixed length variable (like Long)
the number of bytes required to restore the variable are read. For a Variant variable two bytes are read which
describe its type and then the variable value is read accordingly. For
a usertype variable each field is
read in sequence. For an array variable each element is read in sequence.
For a dynamic array variable the number of dimensions and range of each
dimension is read prior to reading the array values. All binary data values
are read from the file in little-endian
format. Note: When reading a string (or a dynamic array) from a Binary mode file the length (or array dimension) information is not read. The current string length determines how much string data is read. The current array dimension determines how may array elements are read. |
Example
Sub Main
Dim V As Variant
Open "SAVE_V.DAT" For Binary
Access Read As #1
Get #1, , V
Close #1
End Sub
