Easy way to prompt for string/numbers

I've got a custom script ./call.sh that will wget the appropriate GrandCentral page and initiate a call back outgoing call. Right now I just accept the number on the command line, but I would love to know how to make it prompt and collect a number from the user.

I'm not now to linux or development, but with maemo I'm kinda lost.

I can't help with a gui front end but would love a copy of the script.

Re: Easy way to prompt for string/numbers

It's stupid simple since it's just a matter of setting up the right calling enviornment for wget.

./call.sh 8005551212
./call.sh 800 druidia

Should result in getting a call on your gizmo line ( assuming you have the whole GC + gizmo thingee setup ). I presume you have already logged in to m.grandcentral.com and set your NIT as your "mobile" phone. Looking at the cookies it's possible to do more with this ( like ring any phone with any number ) with some simple tweaking.

Code:

#!/bin/sh
