How to input text between two strings?

Question

When I have this code

input('Write your name: ')

You can write your name after that string.

>>>Write your name: My name

But, how to have something display at the end of the input?

>>>Write your name: (Name)
>>>Write your name: (Name Name)
>>>Write your name: (Name Name Name)

So no matter what you write, the ')' character appears as you are writing?

Answer 1

I would suggest the following implementation, which uses msvcrt to read a single char every time and act upon it (treating Enter and Backspace if encountered):

import msvcrt

def input_between_strings (s, t):
    res = ''
    while True:
        print(s, res, t, sep = '', end = ' \r')
        curr = msvcrt.getch()[0]
        if curr == 13:
            print()
            return res
        elif curr == 8:
            res = res[:-1]
        else:
            res += chr(curr)

With your case, you can call it like

result = input_between_strings('>>> Write your name: (', ')')
