HPPPL: How to get String input - Lavaloon - 07-15-2018 09:11 PM
I noticed that the INPUT function only input numbers because if I try to input anything other than numbers, I get an error. I'm curious how to get a String input?

Here's an example:
PHP Code:
EXPORT eraseme()
BEGIN
local x;
INPUT({{x,[2]}},"title","label","help","reset","initial");
x;
END;
-road

Hello,
the [2] here forces the type for the user input to be a string (TYPE("bla") -> 2)...
Since the ONLY allowed type allowed here is 2, then the input will be shown WITHOUT the quotes and save directly as a string in the local variable (A-Z globals can only contain reals)...
