This is what returns:

0231.3213 is a number!
asad1213.34 is not a number!
.2342314 is a number!
ADSAD is not a number!
-1 is a number!

Luis, that's essentially the solution I posted. yes ?

Yes.

Luis,
strNum6 = "1.32e-5"

With the original version

(isNumeric(strNum6)) //-> 1.32e-5 is a number!

with the overloaded version
(isNumeric(strNum6, NumberStyles.Number))  //-> 1.32e-5 is not a number!

Hi Kerry;

I noticed that too and also added the test for Thousands, we can use something like:

Code: [Select]

                string strNum6 = "1.32e-5";

                if (isNumeric(strNum6, NumberStyles.Number | NumberStyles.AllowExponent))
                    ed.WriteMessage(strNum6 + " is a number!\n");
                else
                    ed.WriteMessage(strNum6 + " is not a number!\n");

                string strNum7 = "1,200.56";

                if (isNumeric(strNum7, NumberStyles.Number | NumberStyles.AllowThousands))
                    ed.WriteMessage(strNum7 + " is a number!\n");
                else
                    ed.WriteMessage(strNum7 + " is not a number!\n");

Code: [Select]

        private bool isInt32(string inputString)
        {
            bool res = false;
            try
            {
                int temp = Convert.ToInt32(inputString);
                res = true;
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                // Do something with e if you want to
            }
            return res;
        }

You can modify to do numeric or ?
