# NUMBER\_PICKER

`NUMBER_PICKER` Ask the user to interactively ender a number via the UI

### When to use it <a href="#when-to-use-it" id="when-to-use-it"></a>

`NUMBER_PICKER` presents an optimized numerical keyboard whenever a payload needs a number, such as a port or a timeout value. It is a quicker way to ask the user for nunbers - and only numbers - than the `TEXT_PICKER` interface.

#### Syntax <a href="#syntax" id="syntax"></a>

```none
NUMBER_PICKER [text prompt] [default number]
```

**text prompt&#x20;*****required***

Text prompt / dialog title shown to the user. Text prompts should be kept short enough to fit on the device display.

**default number&#x20;*****required***

Default number pre-populated when the number picker launches. Must be an empty string (`""`) for a blank prompt.

{% hint style="warning" %}
A default number must always be provided, even if it is blank.
{% endhint %}

### Results <a href="#results" id="results"></a>

`NUMBER_PICKER` will wait until the user has made a selection, pausing the payload.

`NUMBER_PICKER` exits with a return code of 0 if the user enters a value, and non-zero if the user cancels.

`NUMBER_PICKER` returns the number as the output

### Examples <a href="#examples" id="examples"></a>

```bash
__usernum=$(NUMBER_PICKER "Timeout (in seconds)" "5") || exit 0
```

```bash
__usernum=$(NUMBER_PICKER "No default number" "") || exit 0
```

{% hint style="info" %}
Remember to enclose the prompt text in quotes if it contains spaces!
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://documentation.hak5.org/wifi-pineapple-pager/number_picker.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
