error check with multi-word variables

[batgirl13]

hi,
im making a simple program; here is a section of the code.

code:

loop      put "Would you like to enter? Y/N" ..      get ans      if ans = Y then           exit      elsif ans = N then           quit      else           put ans, " is not a correct response."      end if end loop

at the moment, if you enter more than 1 word, it will display the error message once for every word. i need it to display once, showing all words that may have been entered. i know this is a simple fix, but i cant remember how to do it...help would be much appreciated.

I think it's:

code:

get thingy :*

You might also wonna watch out for Y & N since they appear to be strings be sure to add the "Y".

Zren is right. Just add : * after your get line.

code:

get ans : *

And yeah, you definitely have to change it from saying if ans = Y to if ans = "Y".

And if you use index it will sort through the response for a phrase. I will post an example if you want.
