How to detect a user input while detecting an event l

Hey i was writing an OS and i wanted to detect an user input (the password)
and in the meanwhile i wanted to detect for an Event ("mouse_click")

so maybe you guys could help me …

you will want an event loop

while true do
  e, info[1],info[2],info[3] = os.pullEven()
  if e == "mouse_click" then
	mouseClickFunc(info)
  elseif e== "char" then --#this event name may be wrong
	inputfunc(info)
  end
end

if you want to use read then you will need to use the parallel API

	inputfunc(info)
  end

I adder or e == "key" since it is also used by read. What you could do is take the read function from the bios.lua and doing this:

while true do
  event = {os.pullEven()}
  if event[1] == "mouse_click" then
	mouseClickFunc(info)
  else
   put the internal part of the read function, that is to say everything inside while true do loop
  end
end

This works great but i actually wanna determine where they need to click, because now you could click everywhere and it would work,i would also like to determine a certain string for the input

No need for that anymore i found out already
