Created page with "<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 MiniScr..."

New page

<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.

Syntax:

input(''prompt'')

The ''prompt'' 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>
