PromptInputDialog

PromptInputDialog( text )

text is a string.

Returns a string.

This function will pause the script and show a dialog with the message in the text parameter and a field for the user to enter data. Once the message dialog is dismissed, the script will continue.

The dialog can be used to ask for user input, such as a name or number.

Example.

replyVar = PromptInputDialog("Please enter your name")

MessageDialog("Hello "..replyVar)

This would display a dialog asking you to enter your name. When you click the 'OK' button, the name will be saved in the variable replyVar which is then used to display a message dialog.
