[Gambas-user] Bug / changed behaviour of Input

[Emil Lenngren]

Lol, there is a LOT of usage for scanf :)

If we say c++ istream instead, then you have cin >> a >> b >> ...
If I want to read a text file word by word, (where a word is something
whitespace-separated, space on newline), cin >> is quite easy to use.
Gambas Input works about in the same way, but the Val thing can in some
cases be strange so you don't know what you really get. There is Line Input
which always gives a string, but it only separates on newline, not any
whitespace.
