Hi, so with edit boxes, which are text boxes basically the user can type into them. I can get the text that is typed into the edit boxes, however i cannot convert that text to something useful like a string or an integer, as far as i know atleast. Is there any way to do this?
As far as I know the "text" in an edit box is already a string.
string=(Editvalueof(Useddialogitem)for1)<String>

I am largely inactive, but I am still around. Feel free to poke me if you need some help, just be warned that I only really come back if I need help and/or if I'm posting a new map/library.
Both of these statements are right- you cannot convert text into a string, but the "text" in an edit box is actually a string already. This means you can grab the string value right out of the edit box using the "edit value of (whatever dialog item)" function.
