Hi,
I am trying to read charaters from stdin. the only way I have
found is
puts "type your name"
puts -nonewline "> "
set name [read stdin]
the problem is to stop reading character when enter is pressed. I have
found another way to end the line read but it is not very funny: type
space, CTRL-z, enter, CTRL-z enter. Afterwards, command [read stdio]
returns. if I want to get the correct name typed, I am forced to use:
set name [llindex $lineRead 0]
in order to remove the CTRL-z from string.
is anyone have an easier way to read a simple line from stdin finished
by enter?
PS: I am using NT/jdk1.2/jacl1.1.1
