Need help to reference to a user input entry to the jsl

Hi, I'm trying to reference back to the user input as the name filter for the MFI in my script but when I run the script it seems to run the MFI portion first before opening up the user input window. Can someone help advise what went wrong? Appreciate!

 

Names Default To Here(1);

win = New Window( "Set the Value",
 H List Box( Text Box( "Set this value" ), num_edit_box1 = Text Edit Box( "lot" ) ),
 
 H List Box(
  Button Box( "OK", 
  
   //store results in jsl variables
   num_input = num_edit_box1 << get text();
  
   //close the window
   //wait until you've unloaded the input boxes before you closing
   //or else they'll be gone
   win << close window;
   
   //now do whatever work you want with the inputs
   Show( num_input );
   Print( num_input );
  ),
  
  //a cancel button that closes the window and doesn't store store the results
  Button Box( "Cancel", win << close window )
 )
);

ScriptingRe: Need help to reference to a user input entry to the jslJMP does not stop processing when a New Window() is specified, unless it is a Modal window, or the New Window is the last code in the script.
Therefore, you have a couple of options, to correct your code.
Add < Move the MFI code into the OK Button executionRe: Need help to reference to a user input entry to the jsl

Hi @txnelson , thanks so much for the input! Adding <

However, I now have problem referencing to the user input variable for "num_input" as the Name filter for the MFI, tried a few ways to do it but doesn't work. I'm very new to jsl, hope to get some advice.
