For a program i am making a part which needs user input in a box but i cant find out a way to make it that read() only shows between the 2 x coordinates instead of doing the entire screen. Im quite stumped. Can anyone help?

so you want an input box?

Ya. Pretty much

Step 1) make a window at those coordinates
Step 2) redirect
Step 3) reead()

Except i want it like you type and once you click out the area it stops typing :/
(Like a normal input box)

There is no built in implementation for this, you will have to write your own, or you can find someone else's. I have an implementation of this here: http://pastebin.com/D7TeDJJH, it would need a tiny bit of tweaking to let you click out of it but it shouldn't be too hard (Just add a mouse_click event listener).
