Help with guiGetText

[callum123]

Hey, having a little trouble here.

So i have a memo created and I want to get the text thats inside the memo and then do a test on it to see if its blank. I am trying to do...

if guiGetText(descriptionMemo) == "" then 
      random code here 
else 
      random other code here 
end 
  

For some reason when the memo is blank or if it has value in it, it will skip that line and then do whats in the else. Any suggestions?

where's descriptionMemo defined?

That should work perfectly - simply because I've done this for a hundred times.

As Aibo already mentioned, you could check if the descriptionMemo is actually defined somewhere and then make sure you actually trigger those functions correctly.

Perhaps give us a little bit more code so we can help you out.

I'm not sure why it was not working with the memo, I changed to to an edit box and it worked fine, so I guess I will just use an edit box, thanks for your help.

you can also try to check if the length of the returned string is > 0 using guiGetText(descriptionMemo):len() or utfLen(guiGetText(descriptionMemo))
