| + | Note: This documentation is based on trial-and-error, as this is not documented in /help or in versions.txt and I didn't find any mention of it in a Forum post. | ||
| + | == Parameters == | ||
| + | '''text''' - The input string to be checked<br /> | ||
| + | '''csend''' - Switches which expand the types of numbers accepted, multiple switches allowed. Default accepts only integers >= 0 | ||
| + | == Switches == | ||
| + | * n - default when no switches are used. Accepts text consisting of ONLY numbers, allows only non-negative integers | ||
| + | * s - also permits +- sign to be used | ||
| + | * d - also permits the decimal, allowing numbers with fractions | ||
| + | * e - also permits scientific notation only if using lowercase 'e' | ||
| + | * c - combo of using 's' and 'd' and part of the 'e' range, but also accepts a sub-set of the codepoints also recognized by $regex \d when using the /u flag | ||
| − | + | Note: 'e' allows the exponent to be preceded by +-, but a leading 'sign' would also require the 'c' or 's' flags too, and doesn't recognize the base10 multiplier containing a decimal unless 'd' also used. 'e' does not recognize 'd' as the exponent the way $int(1d2) returns 100. 'c' recognizes the exponent only when the combined exponent from the leading multiplier and the final exponent does not combine into an exponent larger than e308, probably for the same reason that changing the 308 to 308 in $calc(10^308) changes the result to zero. | |

| + | Note: Most users would probably want to use some/all of the 'sdn' switches if there's a risk the string can contain of unwanted false matches with some hex strings triggering a match as if they're using scientific notation, and also because it has a partial subset of unexpected utf8 codepoints matching as if numeric. The next 2 examples shows that the 'c' switch matches 170 UTF8 codepoints, while using \d with $regex's /u switch matches 370. | ||
