RE: User Prompt

That is so basic. You think this would be step 2 after hello world.

Code:

--[[ lua command line user user input

o = the print() function

p = a prompt to the user

r = response from the computer

i =  i returns input waiting until line feed to continue execution

 This example is all one line of code.

--]]

o ,p ,r = print, "Enter your name.","Hello "; o(p); i=io.read(); if i then o(r..i) end;

I had no idea how to interactively give values to programs running in the command line until now. I'm sure its been in our telnet chat script forever and I totally overlooked it.

Thanks!
