ip address; edit box

[bmlnr]

I`ve used the edit box for ip input, but I`m not sure if it is reading it out correctly, because it can`t connect to the host address. Maybe the problem is somewhere else, so I wanted to rule this out first.

I`ve tried:
[Connect to Edittext$("ip address")] + the selected port, which didn`t work
and
,thinking(noob alert) the "." sign might be the problem, made 4 edit text boxes for ip addresses (just for testing purposes):

[Connect to Edittext$( "ip1" )+"."+Edittext$( "ip2")+"."+Edittext$( "ip3" )+"."+Edittext$( "ip4" )]
+ the selected port.

What I`m wondering here is, can the get text command retrieve number values (and symbols) and is this the correct way to select the ip to connect to?

The Get Text command will return the contents of the Edit box, text, numbers, symbols, all.

The Get Value expression will return and integer value from the edit box, as in "33.6" will turn into just plain 33.

To get decimals you need to use Val( ) around the Get Text, so "33.6" would turn into 33.6

Hopefully that will clear up any cofusion about getting the contents of an Edit Box for you.

Ok, i just realized that the get text does get the address for connection, so that`s not the problem. Thanks anyway
