userInput

public java.lang.String userInput(java.lang.String message, String[] validResponses)
Replacement for AntBuilder.input() to eliminate dependency of GrailsScriptRunner on the Ant libraries. Prints a message and list of valid responses, then returns whatever the user enters (once they press <return>). If the user enters something that is not in the array of valid responses, the message is displayed again and the method waits for more input. It will display the message a maximum of three times before it gives up and returns null.
Parameters:
message - The message/question to display.
validResponses - An array of responses that the user is allowed to enter. Displayed after the message.
Returns:
The line of text entered by the user, or null if the user never entered a valid string.
