does somebody know, if there is a possibility to read in a string from keyboard and set it as value to a string in a function?
I have something like the following function and i would like to ask user what the value of 'word' is before i proceed.
Menu "functions"
Submenu "myfunc"
"execute myfunc", myfunc()
End
End
Function/S myfunc()
String word
word = //and here i want to ask user which value it should be
//do something with 'word'
return word
End
Submenu "myfunc"
"execute myfunc", myfunc()
End
End
Function/S myfunc()
String word
word = //and here i want to ask user which value it should be
//do something with 'word'
return word
End
All other solutions which i already have are not friendly enough.
First one is to set the value of 'word' in the console as a global variable before starting myfunc().
The second is to implement this function with a parameter and start the function from the console (As far i can see, there is no possibility to start a function with parameters from a menu).
Best regards,

P.S.: Sorry for my bad english. ;)
I hope it is not a stupid question but i already tried to search for solutions and didn't find any.
Submenu "myfunc"
"execute myfunc", myfunc()
End
End
Function/S myfunc()
String word
prompt word, "Enter a word"
DoPrompt "MyFunc Parameters", word
if (V_Flag)
return "" // the user hit cancel instead of entering a word
endif
return word
End
