OPEN EBD file config.txt in text mode error - mickaa - 18-05-2026

Hi,

When i open a file config.txt with EBD in binary mode, i don't have error,

Code:
OPEN "exp:$dtCF $ftB" FOR BINARY INPUT AS 1

$ReadNext:

IF EOF $FileNumber% THEN GOTO $ReadDone ENDIF

$Char$=GET 1,1

print $Char$

Console: Read binary file ok

but, when i open a file config.txt with EBD in TEXT mode: i obtain this error: why?

Code:
OPEN "exp:$dtCF $ftT" FOR TEXT INPUT AS 1

$ReadNext:

IF EOF $FileNumber% THEN GOTO $ReadDone ENDIF

$Char$=GET 1,1

print $Char$

Console: Read text file ok

But if i read a many caractere at the same time, it work!

Code:
OPEN "exp:$dtCF $ftT" FOR TEXT INPUT AS 1

$ReadNext:

IF EOF $FileNumber% THEN GOTO $ReadDone ENDIF

$DATA$=GET 1,2048

print $DATA$

Console: Read DATA file OK

Okay, I understand. It's not possible to read an EBD file char by char if that file isn't in /usr/...
