I recently requested a user_input_string() function for just this kind of thing. It seems that historically, the feature was rejected, but at the moment, the devs are generally apathetic. I encourage you to try convincing them to implement this feature at http://kolmafia.us/showthread.php?19331
Well I have seen some scripts where you could plug in numbers and it placed those in a variable but Couldn't really find it in the coding when I looked ( the Eatdrink script does this ) so I thought that there might be one for strings as well.. Well darn that defeats what I was going to do then. Thank you.
The main() function can have parameters that trigger prompts when the script is first run, and those variables can be used for anything at that point.

If you tried to directly run my example code, it would fail because count isn't a real function. Unless it is in your code, but it wasn't a defined function in this code or an internal function as found in ashref that's valid for an int. This code should be fully executable as an example.
Code:
main(booealn doAnything, int howManyTimes, string showWhat) {
if (doAnything) {
if (howManyTimes > 0) for it from 1 to howManyTimes print("Iteration "+it+": "+showWhat);
else print("You told me to show the text 0 times.");
}
else print("You told me not to run the code.");
}
