simple text input

[new-be-new]

Hi!

As i said in my previous post, "help me" is now oficially starting! :)

i have been looking in help file and here in forum but i didnt found any command that enables siple text input like INPUT or similar.
I found inkey$ but i think it is for one character.

Code Select Expand


Do
Cls 0
char$=Inkey$()
Text$=text$+Char$
Print "You typed:"+Text$
Sync
Loop


is there a command for text input like: INPUT name$

thanx

There's no built in 'old school' Input in PB, mainly because the command would halt the app.  No very useful for games stuff.  

To counter that, there's a couple functions in the source forum to handle real time input within a loop...
