prompt for input in scripts

[Andrew Warner]

Hi there,
sorry if this is a brain-dead question but I can't figure out how to prompt for user input in scripts, particularly javascript.

The normal javascript "prompt(string, string)" function doesn't work when I run it and I would dearly love to get some user input to run scripts to effect batch changes in the repository. For example, if I have a stereotype and want to change all elements with that stereotype to a different stereotype.

The Session.Prompt shows promise but only seems to allow the choice of buttons and is not documented. Perhaps it's a windows object, rather than an EA one.

Cheers,
Andrew.

I use Internet Explorer (scripted from in EA) to present forms to the user and solicit input.

I can't contribute to the community site yet, so check out my script here:

Thanks Shawn,
that's wonderful. I'd completely forgotten about the COM interface!

Cheers,
Andrew.
