This is an easy problem to fix. Try this, if you are on a Win32 system.<br><br><FONT FACE=monospace><br>print "enter some information\n";<br>$info = <STDIN>;<br>chomp($info);<br><br></font> <br><br>That should do it. Say you enter "some information" into the program, then the variable $info will have the value "some information" and you can decide what to do with it.<br><br>
Vikter,<br><br> does that stop the "some information" from being echoed on the command line as you type it though? Which I think was charlsey's aim.<br><br> Is there a way of doing this on windows?<br><br>Loon
