Re: How to read an integer from the minibuffer |

I'd like to read an integer (or something else e.g. matching a regex)
from a minibuffer. Basically, I'm after a version of `read-string', but
either allowing only some characters, or accepting only input matching
some regex (possibly both).
How do I do that? One way would be to use `read-from-minibuffer' with a
suitable keymap, but that seems slightly low-level. If that is the way
to go, is there a good way to set up a keymap so that nothing except
some specified characters are self-inserting? IOW, is `suppress-keymap'
the way to go or is there some other way?
Another way:
(defun restricted-read-from-minibuffer (prompt regexp)
"Read a string matching REGEXP from the minibuffer, prompting with PROMPT."
(let ((s nil))
(while (progn
(setq s (read-from-minibuffer prompt))
(unless (string-match regexp s)
(message "Unexpected input.")
(sit-for 1)
t)))
s))
