help

Hey it wont let me post so yea I am editing my old post I have a program I need to work yet I cant figure out how you can do a write("") then read() and then and it uses what I write for how many times I want it to loop here's what I got.

print("Hello")
write("how far?:")
far = read()
local far = x
for x do
    turtle.digDown()
    turtle.placeDown()
    turtle.dig()
    turtle.digUp()
    turtle.digLeft()
    turtle.digRight()
    turtle.placeLeft()
    turtle.placeRight()
    turtle.forward()
    end
end
turtle.forward()

This is the wrong topix, should be "Ask a Pro"

Can you make a new thread there, so it's in the correct place, and then in that thread maybe specify abit more what you want to do? :D/>/>

I posted a program that does this (and other stuff) in User Friendly Program combining several useful functions. It actually lets you do most anything a turtle can do. Certainly it gives complete access to all turtle API functions (including passing arguments and receiving results). I'm pretty sure you could find it by searching for "wireless turtle remote control".
