askme - a mini utility for prompting questions
askme is a mini utility that prompts user questions and prints answers in key-value format to the console.
Questions are provided as command arguments as "question" or as "question=default answer" format. You can also specify a key with key: prefix.
You can find the latest release and source on Github:
Usage
askme.exe "filename:Filename for the export=export.zip" "author:Author?" year
A dialog should appear with inputs to type the answers:
When saved by clicking the Save button or hitting ENTER key, the app exits, and the user inputs are printed to console as JSON.
{"filename":"report.zip","author":"abdus","year":"2020"}
The response can then be consumed from any script by reading the stdout and deserializing the JSON.
Hitting Esc key closes the window and nothing is printed to console.
