Possible to let user enter data

I am completely new to IF and text adventures, but I totally love it.
I am trying to figure out Quest now. I was wondering is it possible in either Text Adventure or Gamebooks to end the game by letting the user enter data by typing.
Example: along your quest you get parts of a code, which combined form the final code you have to enter to finish the game.
I have an idea in my mind, but don't know if I have to create a text adventure or gamebook for it
Thank you!

There is a guide here:

28 Apr 2017, 18:45if you know how to do coding/scripting, here's the quest doc:
http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/
there's only two ways to get typed-in input:
- the 'get input' Script/Function: http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/scripts/get_input.html
- the 'Command' Element: http://docs.textadventures.co.uk/quest/elements/command.html
