      Hi Chris,

      Before importing any text file you have prepared, the emulator should send open#0,0,”l200″.

      There is a problem with the hash #, and sends open0,0,”1200″. This throws an error, and all lines are corrupted afer that.

      Also notice that if yoy make a reset during the process, lines start importing wirh no corruption, after an error is encountered. Then never stops, and coninues importing corrupted text again.

          Also reading a line inside the texto file with Open#..

          throws an error.

            In particular, any command containing # will throw an error and subsequent corruption. for instance: close#1

              Hello,

              I have used the text import facility a lot, as Chris knows 🙂 and maybe this is a problem with your keyboard definition? (the hash symbol position maybe is not the optimal).

                Hi Stefano,

                Thanks for your response: My spanish keyboard has the HASH # symbol at the up row in the “3” key.

                It is activated pressing AltGr+3

                if I swap to english keyboard configuration, does it affect to importing from a file?

                Any help is welcomed.

                Rafa

                  AFAIK the keyboard configuration affect the text import, I remember when I first installed the emu the hash symbol was substituted by double quotes until I reprogrammed the configuration. Keyboard mapping utility is a valid help.

                    Thanks Stefano,

                    Finally solved adding English(UK) language in windows and switching ti English before running emulator. Then importing works with no error.
