Question by Popovich · Feb 23, 2013 at 11:19 PM · input

Checking if Input.inputString is a number

Hello, I would like an if statement that checks if a number has been input.

 if(Input.inputString!=null)
         {
             input += Input.inputString;
         }

Instead of checking if its null is there a (quick) way of checking if the input has been a number from either above the qwerty or the alpha key pad?

Thanks

You can use

 int.TryParse();

or

 float.TryParse();

Let me know if you need clarification on how to use it.

Yeah really sure here, something like this? if(Input.inputString==int.TryParse())

TryParse returns a bool if successful so:

 string numString = "1234";
 int number;
             
 if(int.TryParse(numString, out number))
 {
     Debug.Log ("String is the number: " + number);
 }

Hope that helps! :)
