Hi, I’m making a calculator and the way to input texts in the “text\_input 1” is clicking the buttons, I made 3 buttons which are “C” “0” and “E”. So now when I click the buttons accordingly, the text input box will become “C0E”. But I want numbers only in the text input box. What should I do? Thanks. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/6/c/6cd05a1b4ec4241f3966244a5b4bc80b5287dd83.png) ---

Hi, thanks for your reply, I mean when I press the button, the “text input” inputs numbers only. For example if I press “C” , “2” and “1”, the text input result should be “21” only. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/2/2/2205fcaa237cea2d7c2472b7bfdc1c89f54e6296.png) ---

Clear. Create the string 0123456789 and check whether it matches. If a character is included in this string, add it to the output string ---

It shows this when I press “C” button (My “C” button is Button 1) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/3/2/3209dd01385d07f51355ee929dc1067a509f5789.png) ---

I noticed that I did something wrong with the blocks you screenshot to me and I redone it. When I press button 1 the text input is cleared and shows “C” instead. But what I want is the “C” and “E” will not append their text into the text input box when their respective button is clicked Btw this is the blocks and result after i press “C” (regardless what button I pressed before pressing “C”, it shows the same result) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/5/7/57e23b2c5a13ec22063698091ceebf6eb0813a6e.png) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/d/7/d708ae1ab9dbf7531e25a5492b2fc213d9d72219.png) ---

I added this (From “button” “component” get “Text” ≥ 0) and it worked, but thanks for your help too 🙂 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/3X/1/f/1fde7383083bb002457d74f3490c24b27a0523dc.png) ---
