[GiDlist] How to read the command line into a tcl variable?

[Andres Peratta]

Hi
Is there a way to get the data left by the user in the command line at the
bottom of the screen from a tcl script ?
I would like to send a message to the user, such as for example:

GidUtils::SetWarnLine [_ "Enter the diameter ( default = %s )" $diam]

then wait for the user to type something in the command line, and then capture
it in a variable.

Apologies if this has been explained before. I could not find the answer
anywhere else.
Many thanks
Andres

No, the data written in the command line is sent to the internal processor of words,

but you can open your own Tk window to collect your data, and after then send the appropiated GiD_Process commands to GiD

e.g. you can use our predefined tk_dialogEntryRAM to open a window to ask for example a positive real number, with somethin like this
(the global variable ::MyDiameter is used to provide to store the value and provide the default one)

if { ![info exists ::MyDiameter ] } {
set ::MyDiameter 1.0
}
set size [tk_dialogEntryRAM .gid.getdiameter [= "Diameter"] [= "Enter the diameter"] gidquestionhead real+ $::MyDiameter ""]
if { $size != "--CANCEL--" } {
set ::MyDiameter $size
}
