$GUGetMsg() only getting 1 number in a string Help

[computergroove]

I get an output message from the code below but it doesn't read the input in its entirety. For instance I type in 123 and the msgbox states just the 3. Heres the working code.

Func Get_user_input()
    $msg = 0
    While $msg <> $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
        $user_input = GUIGetMsg()
        Select
            Case $user_input > 0
                MsgBox(0, $user_input, $user_input)
                ExitLoop
        EndSelect
    WEnd
EndFunc

Also when I click ok on the window that says 3 the window closes and the script terminates. I need it to stay up so I can enter another number.

Ok I got it to not exit after showing the msg box with the user input in it but I still need the entire user input to be 1 value no matter how long. How do I do that?

I agree with Valuater that more code is needed but Im going to take a wild guess that what you are trying to do is read an input control.

While 1
   $Msg = GUIGetMsg();; Don't know why you need to have it in a function but that's your choice.
   While GUICtrlRead($myInput) <> ""
      $User_Input = GUICtrlRead($myInput)
      If $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop(2)
   Wend
   If $Msg = $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE Then ExitLoop
Wend
