Help for getting a limited amount of letters Urgent

-----------------------------------

Right now I have this

var word : string (12)
get word


I've tried 

get word (12)

So what command can I give to check to get only at most 12 letters?

I believe get word : 12 will work.

var word :string
get word : 12
put word

thx but it doesn't work... but if I were to do a if statement to bullet proof it? What would I use to see if the word has less then 12 letters?

The one I showed only takes 12 characters from the keyboard buffer. The rest are left alone. If you want the user not to be able to type more than 12 characters, I suggest looking into: Input.getchar ().
