Golang : Get user input until a command or receive a word to stop
Just a code fragment below as supplement to tutorial on how to read until certain character to break loop. In this tutorial, the program will continue reading from the console(terminal) until a string that starts with bye
.
Here you go :
// run forever until user issue bye
for {
consoleReader := bufio.NewReader(os.Stdin)
fmt.Print(">")
input, _ := consoleReader.ReadString('\n')
input = strings.ToLower(input)
if strings.HasPrefix(input, "bye") {
fmt.Println("Good bye!")
os.Exit(0)
}
}
