If pressing ESC, the value will be "NO".
If closing the ASK window with the "X", the value will be "NO"
If Timed out (milliseconds) without any action, the value will be "YES"

Try this:

Code: Select all

Let>ASK_TIMEOUT=5000
Ask>Press Escape,vResult
MessageModal>The returned value is %vResult%

Oops, that was if no action was taken on ASK. I see you are asking about INPUT command, stay tuned.....

If pressing ESC, the value will be blank "".
If closing the INPUT window with the "X", the value will be blank "".
If Timed out (milliseconds) without pressing OK, the value will be blank "", no matter what was typed in.
If clicking on CANCEL, the value will be blank "".
All other actions return the value entered and accepted with the OK button, including the value of "0".

Try this:

Code: Select all

Let>INPUT_TIMEOUT=5000
Input>vResult,Enter number runs?,1
MessageModal>The entry is %vResult%

After the ASK/INPUT commands, just use an IF statement based on the value returned %vResult%.

Therefore to make the script exit and do nothing if either nothing or 0 is entered, or cancel is pressed::

Code: Select all

Input>number,Enter number runs?,1 
If>{(%number%="") OR (%number%="0")}
  Exit>0
Endif

You may want to extend that to verify the entry further.
