I'm testing an application which prompts for manual input $var = readline(STDIN).

Normally I run those programs inside emacs while developing, but it "hangs" when trying to read from readline.

My workaround so far was to manually start in the console, but there I can't click anymore on error messages to jump to the faulty lines.

Now I resorted to redirect STDIN to a handle with fixed input values, but only if run inside emacs.

But I'm still wondering if there are IDEs allowing to interactively prompt for input...

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
