SjASMPlus от z00m

[Ped7g]

Can you add support of defining big text blocks in source?

Hmm... it's possible, but it will very likely have the limits of sjasmplus parser, i.e. max 2048 chars per line... Actually not, if I would add it, I would have to avoid regular read-buffered-line, because it does some very limited parsing to correctly read multi-line comment blocks and strings in quotes/apostrophes, and that's not something to be done in the big-text block, so I would definitely have to write second "read-input" code to avoid regular, and then it can be without those limits of regular parser.

Ok, so it's possible, and I will add it to my TODO.txt.

But I find it very low priority, because I don't see much point in it.

Are you aware that you can write your big-text in other file, like "scroller2.txt", and do in ASM source simple:

LabelTXT:      INCBIN "scroller2.txt"

I find this workaround very reasonable, often maybe even better than having the text data directly in the ASM source (and I don't need to write whole new input-stream-reader ).

Let me know if you disagree or INCBIN solution doesn't fit your purpose, and let me know what is problematic (if you want the "big-text" feature to get higher priority).

With my current information about the issue, I will very likely keep it on the bottom of TODO list, so it may never happen or very lately.
