PEEK_STRING

Syntax	a$ = PEEK_STRING(address, length)
Location	DJToolkit 1.16

The characters in memory at the given address are returned to a$. The address may be odd or even as no word for the length is used, the length of the returned string is given by the length parameter.

EXAMPLE The following set of functions return the Toolkit 2 default devices:

1000 DEFine FuNction TK2_DATA$
1010   RETurn TK2_DEFAULT$(176)
1020 END DEFine TK2_DATA$
1030 :
1040 DEFine FuNction TK2_PROG$
1050   RETurn TK2_DEFAULT$(172)
1060 END DEFine TK2_PROG$
1070 :
1080 DEFine FuNction TK2_DEST$
1090   RETurn TK2_DEFAULT$(180)
1100 END DEFine TK2_DEST$
1110 :
1120 :
1200 DEFine FuNction TK2_DEFAULT$(offset)
1210   LOCal address
1220   IF offset <> 172 AND offset <> 176 AND offset <> 180 THEN
1230      PRINT "TK2_DEAFULT$: Invalid Offset: " & offset
1240      RETurn ''
1250   END IF
1260   address = PEEK_L (SYSTEM_VARIABLES + offset)
1270   IF address = 0 THEN
1280     RETurn ''
1290   ELSE
1300     REMark this is a pointer to the appropriate TK2 default
1310     RETurn PEEK_STRING(address+2, PEEK_W(address))
1320   END IF
1330 END DEFine TK2_DEFAULT$
