Hi, I have a code that asks for inputs of numbers from the user. Currently it asks for inputs in the command window, but I would like it to ask in a pop-up box. When I use the inputdlg command it won’t accept the values as numbers for later use, so I was wondering if there is a different way to ask the user for numbers in a menu so that it will know they are numbers.
This is the code that currently works for the command window:
askstartinch="What inch did you start from?n";
start_inch=input(askstartinch);
askendinch="What inch did you end at?n";
end_inch=input(askendinch);
asktrial="What trial number is this?n";
trial=input(asktrial);

This is the code that I tried with the popup boxes, but it won’t accept the values as numbers for later use in the code:
start_inch=inputdlg("What inch did you start from?");
end_inch=inputdlg("What inch did you end at?");
trial=inputdlg("What trial number is this?");

I would perfer the menu to have all 3 questions in popup box, but either way works I just can’t seem to get it work. Thanks!Hi, I have a code that asks for inputs of numbers from the user.
