User input in chat function

Any suggestions on getting user input via the on_chat functions?

For example, to have a builder or agent place a number of blocks based on the number input by the user via chat?

  Never mind, did some research.  For those looking, it's a little ambiguous to the user, but you need to enter variables that don't necessarily have a prompt.  

   

  def moveByInput(r, c):  #the r and c parameter are not explicity asked for

      agent.teleport_to_player()

      agent.move(FORWARD, r)

      agent.move(UP, c)

  
  

  player.on_chat("move", moveByInput)

  #in chat, enter "move 2 5" to move forward 2 then up 5, for example

  Hi, Michael Reilly - pleased to meet you! Sounds like your problem solving is right on track! I know I have been unable to use text as input to chat functions. So let me spare you the grief. =D Unless something was upgraded, you can't pass a string (like what kind of block or what direction.)
  Let us know what you create ~ glad to have you here!
