Help : reaper.GetUserInputs

[Nantho]

Hi Folks !

I've got a question for you, I'm working on a script that need a user input so I'm trying to use the function reaper.GetUserInputs

First I've got a variable called FX, the default value is a string :

FX = "?"

Then there is a popup window asking for something :

fraise_string = tostring(FX)
reaper.GetUserInputs("Insert FX", 1, "Plug-in Name :", fraise_string)

Now i'm trying to store the value entered by the user into the FX variable :

if fraise_string then
FX = tostring(fraise_string)
end

But I don't why this last part doesn't work... When I'm trying to print the FX value into the console, it's showing the default value and not the new one... Any idea ?

Thanks

GetUserInputs returns : boolean retval, string retvals_csv, it doesn't modify the passed in string.

So you need to do something like :

local rv, rv_str = reaper.GetUserInputs("Insert FX", 1, "Plug-in Name :", fraise_string)
if rv==true then
  FX = rv_str
  
end
