148 Alphabetical Listing
RequestStr
Catalog >
Programming command: Operates
identically to the first syntax of the Request
command, except that the user’s response
is always interpreted as a string. By
contrast, the Request command interprets
the response as an expression unless the
user encloses it in quotation marks (““).
Note: You can use the RequestStr command
within a user-defined program but not
within a function.
To stop a program that contains a
RequestStr command inside an infinite loop:
• Handheld: Hold down the c key and
press · repeatedly.
• Windows®: Hold down the F12 key and
press Enter repeatedly.
• Macintosh®: Hold down the F5 key and
press Enter repeatedly.
• iPad®: The app displays a prompt. You
can continue waiting or cancel.
Note: See also Request, page 146.
