Way to receive text ?

[rockets]

What would be the easiest way to receive text from my phone and store that text in a variable, either using sms or some other chat program?

Any info would be helpful, thanks .

I have spent a lot of time trying to figure this out recently. I believe that the only way to do it would do have a console program running in the background, POP3 style download-forwarding emails from your account, sorting through the downloaded emails, finding the ones from a phone, and storing them. However, I have yet to perfect this method, so good luck i hope my direction can help you some

A quick search, I found this:

The software is not free, but it isn't all that expensive. Go to the screenshots and look at the fifth picture. It shows that SMS messages get saved to a folder. You could write a script that checks for new messages and read them into your variable.

I have never used the software or done anything like it, so this is just hypothesis.

This, or this, may help. Browse thru the Examples forum, there's a bunch more there that may also be of some help.
