HPPPL: How to get String input

[Lavaloon]

I noticed that the INPUT function only input numbers because if I try to input anything other than numbers, I get an error. I'm curious how to get a String input?

Here's an example:

PHP Code:

EXPORT eraseme()
BEGIN
 local x;
 INPUT({{x,[2]}},"title","label","help","reset","initial");
 x;
END; 


-road

Hello,

the [2] here forces the type for the user input to be a string (TYPE("bla") -> 2)...
Since the ONLY allowed type allowed here is 2, then the input will be shown WITHOUT the quotes and save directly as a string in the local variable (A-Z globals can only contain reals)...
