1083 :: CLI input on same line as echo?

• Daimon (orginal) [2015-03-27T22:05:51+01:00] view original

  Silly question, but how do I get text input on the same line as an echo?

  This works, but I get the input prompt on the line below the >

  echo "> " stringToEval = readLine(stdin)

  stdout.write "> "
  Run

  There is also the rdstdin module: http://nim-lang.org/rdstdin.html

  
  import rdstdin
  let x = readLineFromStdin "> "
  Run

  This doesn't work when I have to do: messageFlowVar = spawn stdin.readLine()

  I also tried: messageFlowVar = spawn readLineFromStdin "> "

  any idea?

  #maybe try this: import threadpool var messageFlowVar = spawn stdin.readLine() stdout.write "> " var s = ^messageFlowVar echo "you wrote: ", s

  Run
