GUIRead

[layer]

yello, again... when i use GUIRead... it will only read one number... like so:

$math= GUIRead ($edit_23)
      $answer= Number ($math)
      GUICtrlSetData ($edit_23, "= ", 1)
      GUICtrlSetData ($edit_23, $answer, 1)

if you used that in a GUI, it only reads 1 number even if "1+2" is entered, it returns "1", just 1, not 1+2... help please?

also, the $edit_23 is an edit control, maybe it has something to do with that/?

thanks.

1. The value GUIRead/GUICtrlRead returns, is always a string.

2. You can't evaluate a math expression using Number().

There's still no function that does that.

well that sucks... this is how i found auto-it, i was making a batch file calculator... like the stupid way:

expandcollapse popup

echo off
title Calculator
cls
:start
echo.                                          
echo.

echo                0
echo   +  - 
echo.

it still doesn't work, i was in the middle of it(i know how to make it work) and then i posted for help on a forum and someguy said WOW! why don't you go get autoit and he gave me the link and i was like right... so then i figured out how to fix the batch file calculator, and i didn't, so i went and downloaded autoit, then i got so caught up in how cool it was and forgot about the calculator! until one day i found out that you could just do this for the batch file calculator:

well, i lost it but that's not the point

so yea, idk, i just had to get that outta my system =)

ah ha, found this little script some person gave me... a long while ago, like a year...

title Simple calculator
@echo off
:calculate
cls
echo enter a math problem
set /p calc="Problem: "
set /a answer=%calc%
cls
echo %calc% = 
echo %answer%
echo.
echo.
echo.
echo to abort, type ctrl+break.
echo otherwise,
pause
goto calculate

thats batchfiles of course, so maybe i could send that the problem and then i could retrieve it...
