   EDIT: Yep, it is a bug. Even if MSX Basic Dignified do not take line numbers it should just ignore them in this case. On to the todo list.
   Thanks.

   Hi, @wilsonpilon , sorry for the long delay, I blame the pandemic :)
   Actually MSX Basic Dignified do NOT take line numbers.
   So if you just write:

   print "Teste"
   a$=input$(1)
   end
   

   it will be converted to:

   10 PRINT"Teste"
   20 A$=INPUT$(1)
   30 END
   

   There are several ways to direct the code flow without the numbers, the most common is to use labels, like:

   {loop}
   print "Teste"
   a$=input$(1)
   goto {loop}
   

   wich will convert to:

   10 PRINT"Teste"
   20 A$=INPUT$(1)
   30 END
   40 GOTO 10
   

   There are also functions and simple loops, they are explained on the README.MD
   Cheers.

   Hello Farique

   Don't worry about the delay, we are all in trouble these days.

   I actually understood how it works. I've been using it for some time now in new projects, I even made a template for Visual Studio Code that you program with the BADIG syntax and it generates the .BAS in token.

   The problem is that I have many old projects, done in the traditional way, with lines.

   I wanted to remaster these programs.

   Some have many lines, so I wanted to know if BADIG compiled it with the lines, and I would gradually adjust the syntax by removing the lines, separating the routines, rewriting the code, etc.

   They are big programs, so changing everything at once is complicated.

   I asked, because Nestor PRETER (for MSX) allows you to compile a program with numbers, and generates a .BAS with the same numbers (or renumber, don't remember), so the changes can be made gradually.

   Thank you very much for the clarifications and for the kindness to answer my question.

   Cheers!

   Hi, @wilsonpilon.

   I don't know how far you are on your remastering efforts but I may have some good news.
   I still haven't fixed the line numbers thing with Basic Dignified but I just made a tool to convert Classic Basic to the Dignified format.
   It's on the repo, MSXBader.py, along with a .md instruction.

   Hope it helps.

   Stay safe!

   Hi @farique1

   Thank you very much.
   I did a little test now at work and it worked well.
   It was a small program, soon I will do tests on larger programs and give you feedback.
   Thanks again. And congratulations for these tools.

   Helps a lot!

   Stay safe too!

   Cheers!
