BRL.StandardIO
The BlitzMax StandardIO module contains commands for reading and writing text to the standard IO (Input/Output) stream.
The standard IO stream is generally connected to a 'console', allowing you to interact with an application in a very simple way.
Functions
Function Print( str$="" )
Write a string to the standard IO stream
A newline character is also written after str.
Example
Rem
Use the Print command to output BlitzMax strings to the Console window.
End Rem
SuperStrict
Print "Hello World"
Function Input$( prompt$=">" )
Receive a line of text from the standard IO stream
The optional prompt is displayed before input is returned.
Example
Rem
Use the Input command to read user input from the console to a BlitzMax String.
End Rem
SuperStrict
Local name:String = Input("What is your name")
Print "Hello "+name
Globals
Global StandardIOStream:TStream=TTextStream.Create( New TCStandardIO,ETextStreamFormat.UTF8 )
BlitzMax Stream object used for Print and Input
The Print and Input commands can be redirected by setting the StandardIOStream Global to an alternative Stream Object.
