console.readln([...])function

Reads a line from the console (until the ENTER/ RETURN is pressed). The same result can be obtained using console.stdin:readln()

Parameters

Optional strings to write to the console before reading, separated by commas. If the argument is not a string, the function converts it internally using the tostring function.

Return value

Returns a string. Please note that the string does not contains the last "\n" character.

Example

--! luart-extensions import console console.writecolor("cyan", "Enter your name :") local name = console.readln() print("Hello "..name:capitalize().." !")
