how do i read this inputbox?

how do i only read the 3?

Merchants,

Read in the whole thing and then use StringRight to get the final character.

If the Input control is in your own AutoIt script then use GUICtrlRead to get the content - otherwise we need more info to make sensible suggestions.

$i = GuiCtrlCreateInput("test-13", 110, 123, 130, 20)
$i = GUICtrlRead($i)

wel and then... how do i only read the 3?

Merchants,

I say again:

P.S. I realise this is only scratch code, but reusing the same variable is a very bad habit to get into.

Well big M, it looks like we have the opposite situation to the other thread we are both involved in. Reading the help file would have turned up a few potential solutions like the ones below.

Some easy ones, some not so easy ones.

$sVal = StringRight(GUICtrlRead($hInput), 1)

$sVal = GUICtrlRead($hInput)
$sVal = StringTrimLeft($sVal, StringLen($sVal)-1)

$aRead = StringRegExp(GUICtrlRead($hInput), ".*(.)", 1)
If NOT @Error Then $sVal = $aRead[0]

$iStart = StringLen(GUICtrlRead($hInput))
$sVal = StringMid(GUICtrlRead($hInput), $iStart)

$aRead = StringSplit(GUICtrlRead($hInput), "")
If IsArray($aRead) Then $sVal = $aRead[Ubound($aRead)-1]

Ad-infinitum.

Searching the forums should turn up some exact example code because I know that I've written several solutions to this question before, as have others.

ok last qwestion

how to read the whole thing but not the last string

[GEOSoft]

$aRtn = StringRegExp(GuiCtrlRead($hInput), "(.+).", 1)
If NOT @Error Then
   $sVal = $aRtn[0]
   MsgBox(0, "Result", $sVal)
EndIf

Edit

Or

$sCurr = GUICtrlRead($hInput)
$iLen = StringLen($sCurr) -1
$sVal = StringLeft($sCurr, $iLen)

Like I said, there are countless ways to solve these little issues plus, each and everyone of them is in the help file.

Merchants,

If you look in the Help file under <Function Reference - String Management> you will find a whole range of functions which enable you to manipulate strings. Many of those you might find useful appear in the examples in GEOSoft's post above.

Go and take a look - I am sure you will find a function to do what you want.
