Hide input ( Password etc ) ?

[Rutex 0]

Hello all.

Is there way to hide any input? like mask with * io.read() ?

Computercraft led me astray. I assumed read() was a typical function it was actually io.read()

 

Regardless you want

term.read({}, true, {}, "*")

or similar. I am sure some of those arguments you can leave out but from the wiki I don't think you can.

What you are looking for would go a little like this:

local t = require("term")

local pass = "12345"

if text.trim(t.read({}, {}, {}, "*") == pass then

###code goes here###

else

###more code here###

end

 

 

 

this came from elsewhere and I have not had a chance to test it as I am at work but putting this at the top of your code

local e = require("event")

e.shouldInterrupt = function()

   return false

end

should prevent a ctrl+alt+c interrupt
