io.dialog.in

Syntax

s = io.dialog.in(s1<,s2>)

Dialog to input a string. The exact behavior of this function is dependent on the current user interface. In the default Itasca interface, it brings up an input dialog box that shows the message s1 and allows the user to input a response string. The initial response string provided is given by s2 or is empty if s2 is not provided. Kernel processing is suspended until the user responds.

Returns:

s - response string

Arguments:

s1 - message in the interactive dialog

s2 - optional initial response string
