Number recognition

Asked by Eric G

I'm currently using region.text() feature to get various numbers from my screen. They're usually accurate enough, however is it possible to have sikuli perform actions based on what these number values are?
For ex. if region.text() < 1000 click(some img) if >1000 click (some other img)

Is that possible? If so please let me know how

Thanks!

region.text() returns a string. If you want to compare that with a number, you have to convert the string to a number first.

myValue = int(region.text())
if myValue < 1000:
   #do this
else:
   #do that

(Remark, if region.text returns a non-numeric string, then int(...) will fail with ValueError unless you put it into a try - except.)
