Separating numeric from everything else

[jbwhite 1]

Searched google and this forum, couldn't find an answer.

Note; autoit is the only scripting I've ever done in my life, if it sounds like I know nothing about this, it's quite simple, I don't.

I have written a simple little script to change the volume when given a percentage (0-100).

It works great, no problems.

It uses inputbox to ask for a percent that is inputed and it changes the volume to that.

No problems.

However, I want to specify that the value entered cannot be anything but numeric, ei, I have written it so that if you input anything greater than 100 or less than 0 a msgbox will pop up (saying "you dun' goofed" - approx.) and nothing will happen, script exits. Beautiful.

So how do I write it to say that if $box (my var) is not a number, then I can make another msgbox pop up and say something along the lines of "use numbers ya idiot"

Does that make sense?

Thanks in advance.

have a look at isnumber() and possibly use with an if statement

Alright, I got it with StringIsDigit() after struggling with IsNumber(), and googling IsNumber(), which led me to StringIsDigit()

weeee

but thanks for the help.

Instead of using InputBox, you could have created a GUI with a style value $ES_NUMBER which only allows digits

to be entered into it.

eventually i will use gui's and that certainly sounds straightforward, just want to build up a better working knowledge of autoit first

Commendable standpoint.

See this func by ProgAndy as it mimics the old Int() behavior
