Can INPUT input what is typed
I have been trying to use INPUT to input search strings for my Z EDITOR program.
But the Prime seems to parse some inputs without passing them straight to the user program. For example, if you type in a single bracket, INPUT shows a pair. This happens whether you enter a bracket by using the () key, then cursor right and delete left. Or by using Shift/Chars and then selecting a single bracket. Is there a way to avoid this, so that I could search for "WAIT(" for example, rather than "WAIT()" BUT NOT "WAIT(1"?. Code:

RE: Can INPUT input what is typed
Have you tried to limit the input to Strings only?

Also, I don't really want the user to have to type in the quotes - switching between in and out of Alpha should be enough. And for simple searches like WAIT without any brackets, the quotes are not necessary. Stephen Lewkowicz (G1CMZ) https://my.numworks.com/python/steveg1cmz |

RE: Can INPUT input what is typed
The help says that you could define String as the var type and the quotes will be hidden. It seems to be what you need but I don't know how that works. I just get error.

RE: Can INPUT input what is typed
If I simply type in "WAIT" with quotes instead of just WAIT, into my existing program, the quotes are included in the match - and no match results. I'll think some more about the syntax.
