<c>input</c> is a quasi-standard function in the MiniScript language that gets a string of input from the user. By "quasi-standard" we mean that it is not part of the MiniScript core, but several implementations support it, and embedders are encouraged to add support for it whenever possible.

=== Arguments ===

{| class="wikitable"
|-
! Parameter Name !! Default Value !! Meaning
|-
| prompt || "" || string to display to the user
|}

The ''prompt'' parameter is optional, and if supplied, is printed to output (as if with <c>[[print]]</c>). The script then blocks while the user types a response, terminated by Return or Enter. The text entered (without the terminating line break) is returned as the value of the function.

Note that <c>input</c> always returns a [[string]]. To interpret the input as a number, use <c>[[val]]</c>.

== Example ==

The following example asks the user's age, and then reports their age in dog years.

<ms>age = input("How old are you? ").val
print "That's " + age*7 + " in dog years."</ms>

The <c>[[file]].curdir</c> method returns the current working directory in [[Mini Micro]] or [[command-line MiniScript]].

In [[Mini Micro]], <c>[[pwd]]</c> is standard shorthand for <c>[[file]].curdir</c>.

The <c>exit</c> function immediately exits the currently running program, returning you to the command prompt from which it was run.
