Hi All. This should be a simple task. But for the life of me, I cannot work it out. I have a chunk of text in an scaler. I want to edit this text. I look at Term::ReadLine and couldn't see a way of inserting the text into the edit area. There is addhistory which adds to the history buffer. but this isn't want I want.
For example: $text = "this is a test"; $text = function ($text); # permits full editing of line. print "$text\n"; When script is executed. The text in $text is displayed. The cursor and delete commands work. So the line can be modified. so how can this be done? I haven't seen any modules that seem to permit this. Example code would be great. This is for a program I am writing to handle my home budgets. I am extracting the text from a database using DBI.
