User Input Box

[ptc-3805609]

Hello,

New to MC15 but getting along with the help of Google and this forum.

One question that I have yet to answer and would appreciate some basic help:

I want to be able to change a variable value via text box. However a text box formats entries as a string. I have researched it pretty extensively but with no joy.

Can anyone tell me how to easily get a text box to output a numeric value and not a string? I do not need to validate the info just have it spit out the numeric.

Much appreciated.

Thanks,

Chris

Inside the listbox script, use the VBscript CDbl() function.

Outputs(0).Value = CDbl(TextBox.Text)

Richard,

Thank you.

That worked. I also found that I could use "WebControls."

Thanks again.

The other way is to use the built-in function "str2num" (this function returns a constant formed by converting string into a number):
