Data statements

ARRGGHH!! I can't seem to figure out how to use labels.
What am I doing wrong?

Strict

Global arse:Int [3]

For Local plop:Int=0 To 2
	arse[plop] = ReadData Moo
Next 

#Moo

DefData 4
DefData 6
DefData 11

Repeat

Cls

DrawText arse[0],0,0
DrawText arse[1],0,15
DrawText arse[2],0,30
Flip
FlushMem

Until KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)

End

Ta! :)

You haven't got a call to `Graphics()` so how can you be using DrawText and Cls anyway?

ReadData arse[plop]

reading the help sometimes helps ...

Strict

Global arse:Int [3]

RestoreData Moo
For Local plop:Int=0 To 2
	ReadData arse[plop] 
Next 

Graphics 800,600,0

Repeat

Cls

DrawText arse[0],0,0
DrawText arse[1],0,15
DrawText arse[2],0,30
Flip
FlushMem

Until KeyHit(KEY_ESCAPE)

End

#Moo

DefData 4
DefData 6
DefData 11

So does reading previous posts...

.

not really as you don't have a restoredata in as the original source

It's not needed in this case.

Well I just typed that code off the top of my head so someone could understand roughly what I was trying to get at. I looked through all after the help files and there are no examples of using labels.

Anyway, cheers guys. I'll give what you gave me a whirl. :)

Usually "restore" tells it what label you want to start reading from, while "readdata" should read the next piece of data into the variables you specify.
