viz.input

You can manually convert the string to an integer. Example:

strValue = viz.input('Enter a number:')
try:
	intValue = int(strValue)
	print intValue
except ValueError:
	print 'You did not enter a valid number'

Thanks for the reply.

Am I correct in saying however, that you cannot combine an integer and a string to make a file name?

For example if choiceM[selectM] is a string and filename is an integer?

filename = filename + choiceM[selectM]

Thanks

Yes, just convert the integer to a string and then you can concatenate it with another string:

filename = str(filename) + choiceM[selectM]
