/*  getsearch  --  ask user for string in table
 *
 *  Usage:  i = getsearch (prompt,table,defalt)
 *	int i;
 *	char *prompt, **table, *defalt;
 *
 *  Getsearch prints the messge:   prompt  [defalt]
 *  and asks the user to type in a line.  This input text
 *  is compared to all the strings in the table to see which
 *  (if any) it matches; the stabsearch() routine is used
 *  for the matching.  If the string is ambiguous or invalid
 *  (i.e. matches zero strings, or more than one), the cycle
 *  is repeated.  When a valid string is typed, the index
 *  of the string it matches is returned.  If the user just
 *  types carriage return, the default string is used for matching.
 *  The default value is also used on error or EOF in standard input.
 *  The string table may be declared in this way:
 * 	char *table[] = {"string1","string2",...,0};
 *
 *  HISTORY
 * $Log:	getsearch.c,v $
 * Revision 1.2  90/12/11  17:55:23  mja
 * 	Add copyright/disclaimer for distribution.
 * 
 * 28-Apr-85  Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
 *	Modified for 4.2 BSD.  Now uses stderr for output.
 *
 * 23-Oct-82  Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
 *	Added code to use default value on EOF or error in standard input.
 *
 * 23-Jan-80  Steven Shafer (sas) at Carnegie-Mellon University
 *	Created.  This is just an alternative to getstab, but with funny
 *	heuristic string-matching and the nifty "May I suggest..." stuff.
