how to compare what is copied in a variable is a integer or a text

[sunilvedula]

Hi,

 

i make the macro copy a number and it does option A(a set of steps). Next time when i repeat it if it copies a text or a blank i want the macro not to do the remaining steps but need to got to option B. How do i do that?

Use the Variable Modify String: Convert %T1% to integer %N1%[/] command. If N1 is 0 then the string contained non numeric characters.

Variable Set String %T1% "1234"
Variable Modify String: Convert %T1% to integer %N1%
Text Box Display: Test

Variable Set String %T1% "ABC"
Variable Modify String: Convert %T1% to integer %N1%
Text Box Display: Test

Variable Set String %T1% "A1B2C"
Variable Modify String: Convert %T1% to integer %N1%
Text Box Display: Test

<TVAR2:01:01:1234><TMVAR2:05:01:01:000:000:><TBOX4:T:1:CenterCenter000278000200:000:TestT1=%T1%
N1=%N1%
><REM2:><TVAR2:01:01:ABC><TMVAR2:05:01:01:000:000:><TBOX4:T:1:CenterCenter000278000200:000:TestT1=%T1%
N1=%N1%

N1=%N1%

Thank you for ur prompt reply. It helps. But just thinking if it copies blank into t1 then when it converts to integer what would the result be?

Did you try it? To answer your question I would just write a small macro like this:

Variable Set String %T1% ""
Variable Modify String: Convert %T1% to integer %N1%
Text Box Display: Test

Okay, the answer is N1 = 0.
