input a number, with input() ???

[spiral72]

I'm trying to use input() to accept a number from the keyboard. It doesn't work since this is a string instruction.


Is there another version if input() that will accept a number?? Or is there a work-around???

My searches come up with nothing.

Actually, more correctly, I "CAN" type a number in for the input() entry, but it's just a string which happens to contain numeric digits.

It'd be real nice if I could, something like:

a = input()

Code: Select all

If OpenConsole()
  Print("Number please: ")
  Number = Val(Input())
  Debug Number
EndIf
