Autocomplete?

I have a program that takes text input from the user. I know that the only valid input for the program are values from a list that is statically defined before the program runs. How would I implement an autocomplete system for my program? I basically want to mimic the shell autocomplete functionality but inside my program.

textutils.complete gets you the table, the third argument of read is where you want to implement it. For more information, check how the edit program does it.
