reading floating point values

[jon_bondy]

I'm trying to allow the user to enter a floating point (real) value for use as a delay. Here's the code I'm using:

str s
double+ delay
inp s "Enter delay in [fractional] seconds" "" "0.5"
delay = val(s)
out "%4.1f" delay

The "out" produces the value " 0.0", which explains why none of the delays are working correctly.

Any hints?

Thanks!

use the type flag in val.

Code:

delay = val(s 2)

Or use delay with inp directly.
