Need help with etecting which variable you type

[xenaris]

i just have an easy question, how, in GUI or JASS, can you detect what (in this case) integer you type?
e.g. -Circle 50
---> how does WE know that you typed "50" after -circle

well thats about it i think

any constructive criticism is welcome

Set myIntegerVar = Convert string to integer( Entered chat string, 9, Length(Entered chat string) )

hmm this doesn't work it gives "expected a code statement"

He was giving you a line in GUI. In JASS, it would be like this:

local string s = GetEventPlayerChatString()
local integer i = SubString(s, 8, StringLength(s))

SubString(s, [B][U]8[/U][/B], StringLength(s))

Shouldn't that be 9, not 8, so you have a space between the 'command' and the value i.e. -circle 50 as opposed to -circle50

Not in JASS. GUI uses a BJ which subtracts 1 from the source, so you count differently, but SubString starts from 0 - with 0 being the position before any characters (in this case, 0 is before the "-")

edit:

function SubStringBJ takes string source, integer start, integer end returns string
    return SubString(source, start-1, end)
endfunction

native SubString takes string source, integer start, integer end returns string

 -Circle 50

On a related note, there should be a "S2I" somewhere...
