Hi all.

Im trying to create an own input function, and it works quite good. But there is one problem: When you try to erase text, it will do it but sometimes it just stop and do nothing. I use this code to erase text:
. And I dont understand why, it should work. But it doesnt. What is wrong?

Because backspace has it's own character. After a second this character will show up stopping the backspace. This works.

part of the problem is that the backspacekey is an entry so you are trying to delete an entry you just made and it just loops like this so you have to clear the entry buffer after you press backspace and move where you add to s$ after the backspacing code

Or instead of using the wait command to pause your program you can delete two characters instead of one

Thanks for all the replys. Now it works . I didn't know that backstab has it's own character.
