This will do that very limited task:
[code]The player’s input is a snippet variable.
To get typed command as (S - a snippet): (-
KeyboardPrimitive(buffer, parse);
{S} = 100 + WordCount(); -)
After looking:
say “>>”;
get typed command as the player’s input;
say “You typed: [player’s input]”.

You’ll need to convert the snippet to indexed text before you can do much of anything with it in I7.
It… works!
It does everything I want it to do. Thank you so very much.
Also, it seemed to work straight away without any odd conversions:
if playerinput in lower case matches the text title entry in lower case:
Worked great. Thank you again.
Fresh query.
KeyboardPrimitive(buffer, parse); works fine for a line, what would I use to grab the first key hit?
Something like this.
[code]Include (-
[ GetKey i;
i = VM_KeyChar();
return i;
];
-)[/code]
Hope this helps.
Hrm, I’m trying to get it into a variable. I tried this, which did not compile.
To get next key as (S - a snippet): (-
{S} = VM_KeyChar(); -)
Fixed, thanks!
In that case you want something like this.

Hope this helps.
Thank you kindly, good sir.
