********** * Input * ********** Introduction ------------ A few days ago, I was writing an Amiga Dos script when I suddently realized a thing : I didn't know how to read a string on keyboard and store it in a variable. Instead of searching a difficult way to do it I decided to write this small command, which stores a string read on keyboard in an ENV variable. Installation ------------ Just copy Input where you want. I recommand C: so your scripts will be able to call it easily. Don't forget you must have Ixemul.library or Input won't work. Usage ----- From CLI : Input Name where name is the name of the variable you want to create. A variable will be created in ENV:. It will be accessible with '$' (the variable joke will be accessible with $joke). For further details have a look at the example script included in this archive. Disclaimer ---------- You use Input at your own risks. It has been tested for hours on my computer (A1200). I can't be responsible if it breaks something (it shouldn't, due to the technics used).
