Hi Rick -- I don't have time tonight to give you a thoroughly tested answer, but in hopes of getting some breadcrumbs back to you quickly:
* I think you want to use channel.readline(ref arg: string) to read a whole line up to the linefeed into a string * I think the lack of flushing write() output to the console by default (assuming you're also not printing any linefeed characters) is intentional and consistent with typical (C-style) buffering of I/O. I believe you can address it either by flushing the channel after the write, or by turning buffering for the channel down/off. -Brad ________________________________ From: Rick Burris [[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, November 04, 2014 2:34 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Readln I feel like this is a really dumb question, but I haven't yet been able to figure this out. How can I prompt for stdin input and have it read everything to the enter key? So far, I can only seem to manage everything up to the first whitespace. It seems to be the same on read and readln. In a related subject, I've noticed that I can use writeln followed by a read operation, but if I use write followed by read, it does not print the message until after the read. Is that normal?
