How to handle the user input using native gdscript?

In general the best practice to validate user input is a Regex: RegEx — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English

Thanks for the response.

I am looking for a native gdscript solution if one exists.

Sorry I don’t understand, GDScript offers regex support natively.

I’ll have to look into that, thanks.

Solution:

var QTY

func _on_CalcResult_pressed():
		# get text from node as int
		QTY = int(get_node("../UI/QtyLineEdit").text)
		# Handle 0 value input (before division)
		if QTY > 0:
			print(int(QTY))

	# Handle any unwanted input other than an integer greater than 0
		else:
				print("Please enter a valid int above 0 for Quantity")
				print(" ")
				return
