Seriously think about a configuration file. The User can edit to their heart's content, until it's 'right', before they have to enter "atleast ten values" (!!) and make no typos. Since there are so many values, the User will probably have already written them down somewhere; give them a place to write that you can read. Then add an option that shows the input parms that were read and let the User change individual values.
A better approach will be to rethink your interface. *Why* are you requiring so many values? What can be simplified? If you make it hard for your User, They won't use your code.
