swift - Input from the keyboard in command line application

Question

I am attempting to get the keyboard input for a command line app for the new Apple programming language Swift.

I've scanned the docs to no avail.

import Foundation

println("What is your name?")
???

Any ideas?

Answer 1

The correct way to do this is to use readLine, from the Swift Standard Library.

Example:

let response = readLine()

Will give you an Optional value containing the entered text.
