Text Input

Well, I need help with inputting text. See, I want it so that the script prompts you and you type something and that code is executed. For example...
----------------------------------------
Script: "How many apples do you want?"

You type in "3".

Script: "You recieve 3 apples".
----------------------------------------
Or in a much more complex case, say that I wanted you to choose a fruit AND how many.

---------------------CASE 1-----------------------------------------
Script: "Which fruit do you want and how many?"

You type in "3 apples".

Script: "You recieve 3 apples".

-------------------CASE 2-------------------------------------------

Script: "Which fruit do you want and how many?"

You type in "53 oranges".

Script: "You recieve 53 apples".
-----------------------------------------------------------------------



Yeah, something like that.

it is an interesting idea. Most people just use a multi item vender, and then on pay divided the amount given by the price the results, minus the remainder, equals the number of items given.

Try looking up llParseString2List in the scripting wiki (actually, just click the link, I already did it for you ). llParseString2List allows you to split one string into many strings, given a seperator. For example, if you fed it "2 apples" and told it to parse the string with a seperator of " " (1 space), it will spit out a list containing two strings, "2" and "apples".

Here's some code to get you started:

default {
	state_entry() {
		string str = "2 apples";
		list parsedStr = llParseString2List(str, [" "], []);
		llSay(0, llList2String(parsedStr, 0)); // Say first element of list.
		llSay(0, llList2String(parsedStr, 1)); // Say second element of list.
	}
}

That should make an object say "2" then "apples" outloud.
