ttyRead reads a new line from the file TTY. area specifies the destination area for the resulting STRING if new STRING text is generated; see Section 29.4.
The character or characters that terminate the input line (e.g., eol) are discarded.
Example 48–24. Use of ttyRead
| STRING s; INTEGER t,u; s := ttyRead; # read next line from TTY read(s,t,u); # read INTEGERs from s into t and u # (see Section 46.7) |
Example 48–24 gets two INTEGERs from the same terminal input line. The user must realize that two INTEGERs are to be typed on the same line.
