I am trying to create a log generator that will allow multiple lines of input from the user and add it to a text file.<\/p>\n
Current process (temp log is created constantly during script):
\n1. Asks for user’s initials.
\n2. Asks for problem\/issue (allows for multiple lines of input, until there is a blank line.
\n3. Does the same as step 2 for resolution.
\n4. Finishes log and copies from temp to permanent log file.<\/p>\n
My problem is that my script limits each line of user input to one word (no spaces allowed).<\/p>\n
How can I allow a variable\/string to be input without the user manually adding quotes (“”) before and after each line?<\/p>\n
