'''text''' - The input string to be checked<br />
* '''s''' - also permits +- sign to be used

'''csend''' - Switches which expand the types of numbers accepted, multiple switches allowed. Default accepts only integers >= 0
* '''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.

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.

//var %i 1 , %a | while (%i isnum 1-65535) { if ((%i !isnum 55296-57343) && ($isnumber($chr(%i),c))) var %a %a %i | inc %i } | echo -ag %a : $numtok(%a,32) tokens
  
<pre>//echo -a $isnumber(3,d,2.1,4) vs $isnumber(3,,2.1,4)</pre>

//var %i 1 , %a | while (%i isnum 1-65535) { if ((%i !isnum 55296-57343) && ($regex($chr(%i),/^\d$/u))) var %a %a %i | inc %i } | echo -ag %a : $numtok(%a,32) tokens</pre>
result: $false vs error, the d switches is required not only to allow decimal in the input, but in each range parameter as well

result: 08436e69 is $true

Recognizes this hex string as numeric because the number following the lowercase 'e' is not large enough to prevent $calc(8436*10^69) to be larger than approx 2^1023.99.
