read ?trim_delim ?brackets ?prompt ?strings delim will read input from stdin until a new line or delim string is encountered. Occurrences of delim not at the end of the line will not stop the input process. If delim is an empty string, it will return on new lines.

trim_delim: Whether or not to remove the line delimiter from the return value.

brackets: Any characters that once opened must be closed before the line is accepted.

prompt: Customizes the prompt displayed to the user.

strings: If brackets are in strings, they won't have to be closed.

delim: The string that, when found, halts scanning and returns the input.
