I tried making a simple code to get into .bas based coding. I was using FreeBASIC code compiler to create my codes. I tried making a simple code that will bring out any text into the terminal.

read.bas file:

[code]
print "read"
[/code]

and then I compiled it using 

$ fbc -lang qb read.bas

what I got was this.

read.bas(1) error 3: Expected End-of-Line, found '['
[code]
^
read.bas(3) error 3: Expected End-of-Line, found '['
[/code]
^

I am new to Ubuntu but I have messed around with it a bit. Please help and thank you in advance.

Both [code] and [/code] were tags used to identified the code content but are NOT part of the code you need to compile using fbc:

Try the following read.bas:

print "read"

It will work as expected:

$ /usr/local/bin/fbc -lang qb ./read.bas
$ ./read
read
$
