Your usage of input command is fine. I reckon you get the error while trying to index svar (not while getting it from the user). Post the complete error message with the line it points to.
it was the whole error message I got..

No, it's not. Complete error message means all of the red text.

You have accidentally created a variable named input so when you think you are calling the function index you are actually trying to access the variable.
