~= performs an append.  It adds the given item to the end of the array.

Under 1.036, this does not work.

Input:
michael
is
cool
stop

The output is:
stopeal
st
stop

What seems to be happening is that the letters of stop are added to the word, and if the word is longer than stop, then the rest of the letters of the word are added.

So, I'm not sure if this is a bug or what...

Now, it's not. What you do is overwrite the string again and again.
Try putting "currentName = null;" before doing din.readf().
