I want to detect numbers in between text,add those numbers and then store them in a global variable if the result of their addition is 20 or otherwise if their sum is not 20 then I want to store the original numbers only,

And below are two examples with their explanations

A)"ac776sd"= Sum of numbers=20(7+7+6),"Global Variable Sum 20"=776

B)"bc321sd"= Sum of the numbers=6(3+2+1),"Global Variable Sum not 20"= 321,

Cheers

You can run a loop and check each letter is NaN or not.

If it is a number, add each of them to variable.

At the end, check the variable is equal 20 or not.

Does the number appear exactly at index 2, 3 and 4? Then you can use the mid( ) expression to extract each of them separately and add them up. You can do this in one line.

It will look something like:int(mid(string,2,1)) + int(mid(string,3,1)) + int(mid(string,4,1))

That will give you the sum, and the rest is easy.

If the numbers can appear randomly in the string, then you can do what Maverick said (above).
1. Use a For loop that runs for the length of the string
2. Have a local variable called sum
3. You can use loopindex for the mid expression, e.g.: mid(string,loopindex,1)
4. System -> is value type. If that character is an integer, add it to the variable sum.
5. After the for loop ends, check the sum and store accordingly.

In order to complete my project I need to make my project display a text when ever a 4 digit number whose sum is 20 or more appears(Which I can adjust in a Variable) and I tried code which is similar to your code because of the other code in my project and I am trying to replace any four digits whose sum is 20 with any string and because of this I created this forum topic and I do not know how to correctly use Loops(And may be because of this reason I am unable to get my project to work),and Can you tell me where to look for so that I can solve my problem and with a few changes complete my project,And a link to my project file is below-

I've created a very simplistic project that checks the input string and shows you the SUM of all the numbers in it.

Here you go: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1WuRb4YpjJOgNrMRhUqEReZzBNAxCBXOd

Let me know if this helps
