Letter validation

[durks]

Greetings all,

I have a variable that gets a value inputted from the keyboard at a different time to when this variable gets used.

What I want to check is if that value is from the alphabet only (uppercase or lowercase I don't mind). I can't use the "Key.getAscii();" command as the check isn't coming after someone has pressed their keyboard.

Thank you.

If they are typing into an input text field, you can use TextField.restrict to set it to only accept letters, not numbers or punctuation...
