Simple Ping command: Single line command + arguments

[izizi]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
I'm trying to make a sample program similar to the usual 'ping' command on a typical windows or linux machine.


What is the problem you are having?
I can get the user to input something similar to "ping 127.0.0.1 -a" and store it in a variable called 'command' but when I try and display 'command' again, I only get the text before the space; It won't keep the '127.0.0.1 -a'. Is there a way to have the user enter the entire string instead of prompting for every parameter of ping?


Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
I have tried to use commands to separate the input into multiple variables but because it doesn't store anything after the space in the variable, none of them work.


Please specify what version of Turing you are using
version 4.1.1
