In python, the you can use the `raw_input' and `input' commands.

Try this python code:

print raw_input("Enter your name, sir:")

The following Perl code:

print <STDIN>;

and the following Ruby code:

puts gets

both show this behaviour. Just create a new document, set to the relevant language, paste in the code and press command-R to run it.

I'd be very surprised if there was a way to override STDIN behaviour in standard PHP, but if anyone finds one let me know. You could use a function such as this:

function read_input() { if (isset($_SERVER['TM_BUNDLE_SUPPORT'])) { list($button, $input) = explode("\n", `CocoaDialog inputbox --title "STDIN" \ --informative-text "Script is requesting input…" \ --button1 "Send"`); return $input; } else { return fgets(STDIN); } }

to read input, which will use a dialog to request input when run with command-shift-R in TextMate, but will use standard STDIN otherwise.

hi there, I see in the change list that

[NEW] Perl bundle: PerlMate will now request for user input when reading from <STDIN> (Ciarán Walsh)

This seems very handy: Does anyone have an example of a command which does this? If it is not perl specific, are there examples of syntax for other languages, like cmd line php?
