If statements with more than one word

[aogborne]

What is it you are trying to achieve?
i'm trying to make a text based game with using more than one word in a n IF statement if possible


What is the problem you are having?
it doesn't register anythign being entered

Describe what you have tried to solve this problem
googled, tutorials, if I change it to one word it works but not 2

Post any relevant code (You may choose to attach the file instead of posting the code if it is too long)

Turing:

var choice : string  put "what do you want to do"  get choice    if choice = "go north" then  put "north"  elsif choice = "take item" then  put 'item'  else     put 'ok'  end if

Please specify what version of Turing you are using
4.1.1

Notice what happens if you type "go north" into the program below (and hit enter):

Turing:

var choice : string put "what do you want to do" get choice put "You typed \"", choice, "\""

As you can see get stops at the first whitespace character (space, tab, newline, ...).

You want get to read the entire line. To do this we add a colon and asterisk as so

Turing:

get choice : *

For more details (like what happens if you use a number instead of an asterisk) see the documentation for get.
