get-input() Function (SLAX and XSLT) and get_input() (Python)
date_range
30-May-23
Namespaces
content_copy zoom_out_map
http://xml.juniper.net/junos/commit-scripts/1.0 http://xml.libslax.org/slax
Python Syntax
content_copy zoom_out_map
input = jcs.get_input('string')
SLAX Syntax
content_copy zoom_out_map
var $input = prefix:get-input(string);
XSLT Syntax
content_copy zoom_out_map
<xsl:variable name="input" select="prefix:get-input(string)"/>
Description
Invoke a CLI prompt and wait for user input. The user input is defined as a string for subsequent use. If the script is run non-interactively, the function returns an empty value. This function cannot be used with commit or event scripts.
The prefix associated with the namespace URI should be defined in the prefix-to-namespace mapping in the style sheet.
Note:
If the jcs.get_input string
argument includes a null character sequence (\0), Python automation scripts generate an Invalid number
of arguments error.
Return Value
input | Text typed by the user and stored as a string. The return value will be empty if the script is run non-interactively. |
Usage Examples
In the following SLAX example, the user is prompted to
enter a login name. The user’s input is stored in the variable $username.
content_copy zoom_out_map
var $username = jcs:get-input("Enter login id: ");In Python:
content_copy zoom_out_map
username = jcs.get_input("Enter login id: ")
