Pittsburgh, PA 15237 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ReqText A Freely Redistributeable Program written by Kay-Uwe Drangmeister NAME ReqText - Request one line of text from the user SYNOPSIS ReqText AskText [DefaultText] [LEN length] where AskText becomes the Window title of the requester window, DefaultText is the (optional) text appearing inside the string gadget, length is the maximum input size. OPERATION ReqText is used whenever you want to send some input from keyboard (e.g. a filename, a password,...) to other files. By default, the output goes to STDOUT. This is very useful in conjunction with piping commands: ReqText Psw? len 8 | crypt >nil: crypted_stuff ram:file will pop a requester asking for a 8-letter password which will be piped to (my famous :-) crypt program which will then decipher the crypted_stuff to a file in ram: (>nil: is used to suppress the "Enter password:" message.) ReqText "New search path?" "dh0:,dh0:c/" | type to env:path or simply ReqText >env:path "New search path?" "dh0:,dh0:c/" will ask for the search path for WShell and set the environment variable accordingly. In shell scripts, you can query file or path names, instead the simple yes/no decisions by the "Ask" command. RETURN CODE 0 if the user entered text and pressed or the gadget, the text is then sent to STDOUT, always followed by an CR, even if it is an empty text. 5 if the user hit the or the close gadget or pressed . No text is sent in this case. 20 if ReqText runs out of memory or a library is not present. REQUIRES Kickstart 1.2+ arp.library V39+ is used for argument parsing and output req.library V1+ is used for the text requester 684 Bytes on your work disk AUTHOR'S ADDRESS If you find this program useful, PLEASE think about sending me a nice post-card of your country.
