The new cmdinput parameter to MX_SETCMDINP and MX_GETCMDINP allows enabling / disabling command file input for BASIC statements INPUT and INPUT LINE in addition to INFLD:
xcall MIAMEX, MX_GETCMDINP, cmdinfld {,cmdinput}
Parameters
cmdinfld (Num) [out]
returns 1 if command file input for XCALL INFLD enabled; else 0
cmdinput (Num) [out]
returns 1 if command file input for INPUT and INPUT LINE enabled; else 0
xcall MIAMEX, MX_SETCMDINP, cmdinfld {,cmdinput} cmdinfld
Parameters
cmdinfld (Num) [out]
set to 1 to enable commmand file input for xcall INFLD
cmdinput (num) [in] -
set to 1 (default) to enable command input for INPUT and INPUT LINE enabled; else 0 to disable.
The are two main intended uses for this new feature:
| • | To prevent the accidental use of command file input for certain critical kinds of inputs (passwords, etc.), where you don't want to resort to a more sophisticated input mechanism like INFLD. |
| • | To allow command file wrappers to be created for programs which may perform conditional or unexpected standard inputs that you don't want to come from your wrapper command file. |
Note that setting the cmdinput flag to 0 only disables command file input for INPUT and INPUT LINE within programs; it does not affect the ability of command files to execute commands. Furthermore it is automatically re-enabled when you end up at the command prompt and there is no more command file input available.
