# Basic syntax:
read -d "~" -p $'Enter your text (type \"~~\" when done):\n' YOUR_TEXT
# Where:
#	- -d tells read to continue reading until the specified delimiter is read.
#		Here I use ~ as the delimiter
#	- -p indicates what to prompt when the script asks for input. I include a
#		message to indicate what to type to stop reading. (I say ~~ because in
#		my shell, I always seem to have to press it twice to stop reading)
#	- YOUR_TEXT is the bash variable that will get the input text
