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 ;) -----Original Message----- From: Daniel Falkenberg [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, December 20, 2001 17:07 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 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.
