Get a number from command

[euvgenius]

Hello, I need a key to be pressed specific time in seconds, is it possible to do it without creating N commands?
For example, I say "Hold 50", so the key stays pressed for 50 seconds. I say "Hold 25" and it stays pressed for 25 sec and so on....

Yes, that is possible.

Press F1 while VoiceAttack has focus to open VoiceAttackHelp.pdf in your default PDF viewer, and search for these sections:
"Dynamic command sections"
"{TXTNUM:variableName / value}"
"Variable Pause Screen"
"Key Press Screen"


Keep in mind that commands containing numbers can have a large phrase count, so it's always recommended to only create the phrases you're likely to need (E.G. if you don't need a one-second resolution, use a multiplier).

I can do Hold [1..50] as I see, but I dont understand, how do I put a number from the range into variable?
I think I should use {TXTNUM: variableName / value} somehow, but where do I type it?

Read the introduction to the tokens section ("Text (and Text-To-Speech) Tokens") if you haven't used them before. You'll want to use the "{CMD}" token to get the spoken phrase used to trigger the command, then pass that value to the "{TXTNUM:}" token.

Did you check the "Variable Pause Screen" section/"Add a Variable Pause" action?

Yes. In Token's section there is a words: "For example, if text variable, ‘myTextNum’
is set to, ‘8675309 Jenny’, {TXTNUM:myTextNum} will return as “8675309”. "
So I have to write {TXTNUM:myTextNum} as Decimal variable name? Or how do I make my variable equal to recognized number?

[Pfeil]

You don't need a variable.

The "{CMD}" token can be passed to the "{TXTNUM:}" token directly as a literal value (using the syntax specified in the VoiceAttackHelp.pdf section on the "{TXTNUM:variableName / value}" token), and tokens can be used directly in the "Decimal variable name" field of the "Add a Variable Pause" action, as is noted in the "Variable Pause Screen" section of VoiceAttackHelp.pdf
