$isnumber Returns $true if text is a number, otherwise returns $false.

Note: switches affects the range number parameters, see the examples

Synopsis[edit]

$isnumber(text,[sd],[I,J])


Parameters[edit]

  • text - The input string to be checked
  • s - also permits +- sign to be used
  • d - also permits the decimal, allowing numbers with fractions
  • [I,J] - If you pass a third and fourth parameters, they must be valid number (with respect to the switches used) and are used to validate the number in a range.

Properties[edit]

None

Example[edit]

//echo -a $isnumber(564)

will return $true

//echo -a $isnumber(abcdefG)

will return $false because not all the characters are digits


//var %a -123 | echo -a $isnumber(%a) vs $isnumber(%a,s)

result: $false vs $true (using a sign requires 's')

//echo -a $isnumber(3,d,2.1,4) vs $isnumber(3,,2.1,4)

result: $false vs error, the d switches is required not only to allow decimal in the input, but in each range parameter as well

Compatibility[edit]

Added: mIRC v7.58
Added on: 17 Nov 2019
