Examples

## Not run: 
## First create an AmigaBasic file
write.AmigaBasic(as.AmigaBasic("PRINT \"Hello world\""),
                 file.path(tempdir(), "helloworld.bas"))

## Now let's read the same file:
bas <- read.AmigaBasic(file.path(tempdir(), "helloworld.bas"))

## End(Not run)

## There's also a demo file included with the package
demo.bas <- read.AmigaBasic(system.file("demo.bas", package = "AmigaFFH"))
