Javascript Greater than Less than

[movieland]

I'm using var numbersInString = input.match(/\d+/g); to put into an array the first 2 digital numbers.

Such as: Is 6 greater than 5?

Note: (A person types this into an input box and the answer is displayed in a similar input box. So I must keep this in a similar format.)

numbersInString[0] - will give the first number
numbersInString[1] - will give the second number

I then want to compare the numbers as either > < or =

I can't seem to get any combinations that works. Any Help would be appreciated.

if ((input.search("what is greater")!= -1) && (input.search(/\d{1,10}/)!=-1) && (input.search(/\d{1,10}/)!=-1)) 
{var numbersInString = input.match(/\d+/g); 
var num1 = parseInt( numbersInString[0], 10 ); 
var num2 = parseInt( numbersInString[1], 10 ); 
if (num1 < num2) document.result.result.value = ""+num1+" is less than "+num2+""; 
if (num1 > num2) document.result.result.value = ""+num1+" is greater than "+num2+""; 
if (num1 = num2) document.result.result.value = "Both numbers are equal"; 
return true;}

Sorry, I don't know enough about javascript to adapt this to my needs. Basically I have a working bot that answers questions using "if statements" like this. If the input isn't there the statements never triggers and gets answered later by a simple I dunno type of response. So I'm trying to working within that frame work.

if (num1 = num2) document.result.result.value = "Both numbers are equal";

this will never work. it needs to have two == to compare the values

if (num1 == num2) document.result.result.value = "Both numbers are equal";

you can save yourself some grief by using the proper Number method to convert a string to a number:

var num1 = Number(numbersInString[0]); 
var num2 = Number(numbersInString[1]);

you will probably get into trouble at some point using the same name for your form and a form element - better to use something else (even adding an "s" will keep you out of trouble). Here's what all that would look like (assuming the text input has an id of "txt"):

function compareNumbers(){
                var input=document.getElementById('txt').value;
                var numbersInString = input.match(/\d+/g); 
var num1 = Number(numbersInString[0]); 
var num2 = Number(numbersInString[1]); 
if (num1 < num2) {document.results.result.value = num1+" is less than "+num2; }
if (num1 > num2) {document.results.result.value = num1+" is greater than "+num2;} 
if (num1 == num2) {document.results.result.value = "Both numbers are equal"; }
            }

Ok thanks. That looks more familar to me.
