Convert String to Integer from UI Text Box or Drop Down - Is this possible?

[irevvy 0]

Is there a work around as to how to convert a string variable to integer from UI text box or drop down?

 

I am trying to create a script that will loop for a number of times which will be determined by the user input via text box or drop down. I always get this error when I run it "Conversion from string "" to type 'Integer' is not valid."

 

Your help is highly appreciated!

There's most likely an error in your code.

Here's my code:

 

ui drop down("No. of Loops", "3,5,8,10,15", #cycle)
set(#loopcounter, 0, "Global")
loop(#cycle) {
    increment(#loopcounter)
    alert(#loopcounter)
}

 

 

Thanks!

I don't see any errors when running the code you posted above. I take it that the actual code that is receiving an error is different than this code?? usually you would increment the loop after it has run its cycle, not as it starts the cycle.

That's weird! That's the same code I tested when I got the error and I tried it several times.

 

Apparently, when I updated Ubot today the error doesn't show up anymore.

 

Anyway, thanks for your help guys!
