readln(record.field);

Here is some sample code... but I get an error and it's been too long since I've delt with records to figure what I'm doing wrong.


[B]Type[/B]
..rooms = [B]Record[/B]
....name : [B]String[20][/B];
....descpt1, descpt2 : [B]String[/B];
..[B]end[/B];

[B]Var[/B]
..fname : [B]file[/B];

[B]Begin[/B]
..assign(fname, 'rooms.dat');
..readln(rooms.name); [Red][Italic]<---- This is were I get my error, it says it is expecting a '(' after the word 'rooms'. I'm attempting to read input to store into rooms.name... what's going on here?? What am I missing?[/Italic][/Red]
[B]end[/B];


Any help will be appreciated... thanks!

    Your problem is that you've declared a type called rooms, but you've not
    declared a variable based on that type.
    Pascal works with variables only.

    TYPE Rooms = RECORD
    Name, Descrpt1, Descrpt2 : STRING;
    END; { of type declaration}

    Now you should declare variable based on that type :

    VAR MyRoom : Rooms;

    BEGIN
    Assign(FName, 'rooms.DAT');
    Reset(FName);
    ReadLN(FName, MyRoom);
    {reads the entire record from file}
    END.
