Just check like:
        chomp($input = <STDIN>); # get input and remove the c/r
      $input = uc($input);

        if ( $input eq '' or $input eq 'N') {
         # nothing entered, so becomes your N
         # put what you want when default is entered
         }

Wags ;)

Subject: Default variable for STDIN.


Hello All,

Just a quick question.

Just wondering how I would go about allowing a user to enter with STDIN
either a Y or a N, but have the default variable of N if the user just
hits enter.

So far I have...

print "Hit Y to continue: [N]";
$input = <STDIN>;

hmm.. something like that.

Kind Regards,

Dan
