INPUT$

[ampos]

When you press the RETURN/ENTER key to finish text input in the input$() command, it dont finish, it just enters a "special" character

Yes, it's a new bug. I'll fix it ASAP. The enter key returns "\r", which is wrong. It must be "\n".

Any ETA as to when the INPUT bug will be fixed? I am still having it with GLBasic version 9.040 and it is hindering development of my text adventure game. Thanks in advance.

Its fixed now - try the latest hotfix

Thanks for the quick answer. Silly me, i was unaware of the beta version+hotfix. Now everything is working like it should.

am I missing something totally obvious here? Where is a link to the beta/hotfix version? I did find it by accident by guessing a few urls but is there an official link anywhere?

In "Beta tests" - the Beta - Android thread.

hm? why create your own? Personly I have never liked this kind type of commands (print here does make nice seance throught), because you have no control what user input, and also the length of them.

Instead I have allways create my own. But this one might do work for text advetures :-D

PS. And yes is a bug (Just like ViewPort), but would been nice to set a limit length in the next SDK.

INPUT should only be used in emergencies or for quick testing/prototyping.  As you mentioned, there is no real control over what the user types in or for how long - but then that was never it's requirement.
