如何在erlang中接受来自用户（控制台）的输入

Question

I'm confused How can I accept input from the Erlang shell or eclipse console? I want to accept input for the variable "input" from user.

p1()->
    io:format(" Codes for business logic of task one \n"),
    spawn(xorgateway, xor_split, []).
xor_split()->
 io:format("enter your decision \n").
   case Value of
         decision1 -> 
            spawn(xorgateway, p2, []);
        decision2 ->
            spawn(xorgateway, p3, []);
        decision3 ->
            spawn(xorgateway, p4, []);
          _->
            io:format("invalid input \n")end.

I'm confused How can I accept input from the Erlang shell

-module(my).
-compile(export_all).

    get_data() ->
        {ok, Term} = io:read("Enter a number: "),
        io:format("The number you entered plus one is: ~w~n", 
                  [Term + 1]).

In the shell:

8> c(my).        
my.erl:2: Warning: export_all flag enabled - all functions will be exported
{ok,my}

9> my:get_data().
Enter a number: 10.
The number you entered plus one is: 11
ok

10> 

Note that the user needs to enter a period after their input. Also, see io:getline() and io:fread()

input is not a variable in Erlang. Erlang variables start with a capital letter.
