.getdata Method

Function:	Reads data from a currently opened resource (ROM) file.
Syntax:	romfile.getdata(maxinplen as byte) as string
Returns:	String containing a part of the ROM file's data
See Also:	romfile. Object

Part	Description
maxinplen	Maximum number of characters to read from the file.

Details

The actual return string length is limited by three factors, whichever is smaller: the capacity of the receiving string, the amount of remaining data in the file (romfile.size + 1 -romfile.pointer), and the maxinplen argument.

Invoking this method moves the current pointer position forward by the actual number of bytes read.
