So I tried Michael's suggestion of:<br><br><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse;"><font face="'courier new', monospace">digits
= session:playAndGetDigits(1, 4, 1, 5000, "#", get_digits_message, "",
"\\d+");<br><br><span style="font-family: times new roman,serif;">but it still didn't detect that I had pressed any keys. What would cause this? Is there someplace I can check to see if anything at all is being detected?</span><br>

<br>
You are specifying a minimum of four and a maximum of four digits. Also, your regex will match any string that has a digit 1 in it, which may or may not be what you are looking for. Lastly, you haven't specified a terminator key (like "#") but you are giving the user only one try and waiting 5000ms for the entry. Try something like this:<br>
<br><span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 13px; border-collapse: collapse;"><font face="'courier new', monospace">digits
= session:playAndGetDigits(1, 4, 1, 5000, "#", get_digits_message, "",
"\\d+");</font></span><br><br>Let us know if that works. Oh, one other thing: you might want to add an invalid message because playAndGetDigits will handle invalid input for you. <br><font color="#888888">-MC<br>
