dialog inputbox - a default input value

**sebastian.s** · February 18th, 2013

Say i want to create a simple inputbox like this:

Code:

dialog --inputbox "Please enter a hostname" 10 60

Is there a way to get a default value already filled in the input field? Say i would like it to say "ubuntu" in the input field. Thanks in advanced

It's the fourth parameter

Code:

dialog --inputbox "Please enter a hostname" 10 60 ubuntu
