Subject: How to read an integer from the minibuffer
Date: Thu, 11 Nov 2021 05:53:39 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87ee7nqomk.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)
Hi all,
I'd like to read an integer (or something else e.g. matching a regex)
from a minibuffer. Basically, I'm after a version of `read-string', but
either allowing only some characters, or accepting only input matching
some regex (possibly both).
How do I do that? One way would be to use `read-from-minibuffer' with
a suitable keymap, but that seems slightly low-level. If that is the
way to go, is there a good way to set up a keymap so that nothing except
some specified characters are self-inserting? IOW, is `suppress-keymap'
the way to go or is there some other way?
TIA,
--
