ReadConsoleInput (open)

Get a single line of text from the console

Syntax

LOADLIB "wh::os.whlib";

STRING FUNCTION ReadConsoleInput()

Return value

STRING

A line of text read from the console, excluding any terminating \n or \r. If an empty string was returned, check IsAtEndOfStream(0) before calling the function again

Description

This function will cause an error if executed without an active console (ie, not started by runscript). Also, if this function is recalled after it returned an empty string and IsAtEndOfStream(0) would have returned 'true', it will generate an error to prevent a loop on ReadConsoleInput()
