  • [Q] De-tokenize ZX Spectrum Basic for PC?

    Just running

    10 OPEN #3;"t"
    20 LLIST
    30 CLOSE #3

    in an emulator and grabbing if1_out.txt (using EightyOne [2]) as the ZX Interface 1 manual suggests is close but intrododuces unwanted line breaks and the need for regex-fiddling.

    Any ideas are highly appreciated. THX.

    Greets,

    P.S.: What tool for TZX file management do you recommend? Splitting,
    merging, deleting segmants and generating a catalogizing would be useful. I have a ton of tapes with a ton of programs, most not really correlated.

    I wrote a program in Turbo Pascal 7 to de-tokenize Sinclair BASIC programs. I'll try to dig it up and re-compile with Lazarus or FreePascal. Let me know if you are still interested.

    Also "listbasic" does what Volker needs. It lists the BASIC source from
    a snapshot or a TAP file. It's part of the Fuse emulator's fuse-utils:

    Spectaculator, and possibly other emulators, can redirect LPrint and LList to a .txt file.

    That's a good method too, provided you can load the program first. Also
    the Fuse emulator redirects its printing to a text file.

    This is a multi-part message in MIME format.
    Interestingly I found this by Paul Dunn on my (PC) hard-drive - looks
    like I grabbed this from somewhere in 2016. There probably is a later
    version from the author.
