Problem with user input with spaces

[boesiii]

I have a routine the asks the user for size and type of pipe (ex: 8" PVC), but when the user hits the space acad thinks its a return.

Is there a way around this?

Thanks

Hi Boesiii,


If you are using getstring, use (getstring T "\nPrompt goes here: ")

Hope this helps,

Space is Enter, but it depends on the input to the routine
if you use getstring for the input you can use this to accept space as space
(setq Ask (getstring T "Type size : "))

: ) Happy Computing !

...and just so you know, it's documented in the developer guide (acad_dev.chm) under (getstring)

If you are using VLIDE, double click on (getstring), which highlights it. Then click the help button on the toolbar. This will open HELP to the (getstring) page.
