How to get input steps ouput in jenkins-pipeline

I used in my pipeline a input steps as you can see below :

input(
         message : "some message",
         parameters: [
          [$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition',
            choices: string ,
            description: 'description',
            name:'input'
         ]
        ]
      )

I wanted to use the name input that I configure to get the value put in the input like this ${input}, but it didn't work. I also tried to put it in a var like this : 

def reg = input : messages : "", paramaters: [...]

But It doesn't work either, so I don't understand how I can get the param that the user chose and didn't find how to do in the do.

When using ChoiceParameterDefinition remember to define choices as string delimited with \n. You can assign value returned by input(...) step to a variable and use it later on. Take a look at following example:

node {
    stage('Test') {
        def reg = input(
            message: 'What is the reg value?', 
            parameters: [
                [$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition', 
                    choices: 'Choice 1\nChoice 2\nChoice 3', 
                    name: 'input', 
                    description: 'A select box option']
            ])

        echo "Reg is ${reg}"
    }
}

In this example I define a single select with 3 options. When I run this pipeline, I get this popup to select one of three options:

enter image description here

I pick the first one and pipeline finishes with following console output:

[Pipeline] node
Running on Jenkins in /var/jenkins_home/workspace/test-pipeline
[Pipeline] {
[Pipeline] stage
[Pipeline] { (Test)
[Pipeline] input
Input requested
Approved by admin
[Pipeline] echo
Reg is Choice 1
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // stage
[Pipeline] }
[Pipeline] // node
[Pipeline] End of Pipeline
Finished: SUCCESS

Try use this code:

def userInput = input(id: 'userInput', message: 'some message', parameters: [
    [$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition', choices: string, description: 'description', name:'input'],
    ])
    VARAIBLE = userInput

It's work For me. If you need add more ChoiceParameterDefinition code should look like that:

def userInput = input(id: 'userInput', message: 'some message', parameters: [
    [$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition', choices: string, description: 'description1', name:'input1'],
    [$class: 'ChoiceParameterDefinition', choices: string, description: 'description2', name:'input2'],
    ])
    VARAIBLE1 = userInput['input1']
    VARAIBLE2 = userInput['input2']
