LEFT

Syntax

LEFT [ #channel ]

Location

QSOUND

This command will move the text cursor left one column in the specified channel (default #1). If there is a pending newline on the specified channel (for example after a PRINT command) this will be cleared, making it as if the last PRINT (or INPUT) statement ended with a comma - for example:

100 PRINT 'Hello World'
110 PRINT 'THIS LINE IS PRINTED AFTER A PENDING NEWLINE'
120 LEFT
130 PRINT 'THIS OVERWRITES PART OF THE LAST TEXT'

‘Out of Range’ will be reported if you try to move the cursor left past column zero.

CROSS-REFERENCE

AT allows you to position the text cursor. PRINT, TO, INPUT and CURSOR also affect the text cursor.
