# Command Detail - R

## read -p

In \*nix:

```
read -p "Which is the only London club to win the Champions League? " team
echo $team
```

In Powershell:

```
$team = read-host "Which is the only London club to win the Champions League?"
Which is the only London club to win the Champions League? : Chelsea

$team
Chelsea
```

To *not* echo the input to screen, you would do

```
$SecretString = read-host "Whats your secret? "-assecurestring
```

This echoes out an asterisk for each character input

## rm

```
Remove-Item
```
