Copy code/text from PC/Notepad to AMOS

Brick Nash · 30 August 2018, 11:44

Been trying to copy blocks of code from Notepad on Windows to Amos on WinUAE but it just isn't working.

I have clipboard sharing enabled, but AMOS only seems to recognise blocks cut or copied within its own program.

It's a LOT of code, so before I dedicated a week to bashing it all in by hand I'd like to explore every solution if anyone has any?

Thanks!

Open a new window in AMOS and load the text as a file to it? Maybe if it has *.AMOS extension, it can accept it better. Then copypaste it to your other Amos window.

Thanks that did the trick.

One question though, a bit of the code I have is in assembler but it's importing it in a weird way.

Instead of

dc.l

It displays as

dc 0.0 L

It also says it's a syntax error. I thought AMOS could read assembler?

AmosPro can't read assembler code, at least not without an extension (not sure if it exists).

Hmm I was convinced that you could slot in bits of assembler in Amos.

Guess I was wrong. Maybe it's Blitz I'm thinking of?

Anyway thanks for the replies! As always, much appreciated!

You're thinking of Blitz. SamuraiCrow can tell you more how to insert banks of assembly, though.

...as long as it's relocatable and 32kbytes or less.

I save my notepad file. Load CygnusED on the amiga and load the file. In the CUT/PASTE drop down menu there is an option 'Strip CR marked. Save it as ascii and this should load in fine.
