Read

Description

read reads a single character from StdIn and returns it as a string.

Syntax

read()

Remarks

• the function is blocking until a character is read from StdIn
• if StdIn cannot be read, the function returns an empty string
• it does not wait for the user to press "Enter", it returns directly after a single character is read
• the function doesn't mask the users input (so is not safe for passwords)

Examples

var c = read()

println("You pressed: " + c)
