Not really, not from the command line. You can throw away all the length you
don't want once it has been entered. It is way better to expect more
characters than you get than to get more than you expect (long sad story
about C/C++ "gets" snipped here).

Maybe you should describe the problem, rather than asking about this way of
solving it.
