Overview
The IsNumeric function tests if a string contains only numeric characters or if it is a number with associated financial or real number syntax.
Syntax/Parameters
Syntax
boolean = IsNumeric ( string value, [dword options] );
Parameters
value
A string to test.
options
An optional dword that specifies the test conditions for value. The default value is 0x00000000.
Return Value
Returns a boolean value as TRUE if value contains only numeric characters or FALSE if it does not. Use the GetLastError function to retrieve statistics on the tested value.
Remarks
In default mode, the IsNumeric function provides strict checking in that the entire string must be composed of numeric digits.
The options allow for the number to test if the value parameter is real numbers or as financial numbers. The following options are available:
| Define | Bitwise | Description | |||||
| Mode | |||||||
| IS_NUM_MODE_MASK | 0x0000000F | Mode Mask Type | |||||
| IS_NUM_MODE_US | 0x00000000 | US Mode | |||||
| Input Constraints | |||||||
| IS_NUM_DIGITS_ONLY | 0x00000000 | Only Digits (default) | |||||
| IS_NUM_ALLOW_ALL | 0x000000F0 | Cover All Modes | |||||
| IS_NUM_ALLOW_DECIMAL | 0x00000010 | Allow Decimal (US format) | |||||
| IS_NUM_ALLOW_COMMAS | 0x00000020 | Allow Commas (US format) | |||||
| IS_NUM_ALLOW_NEG_DASH | 0x00000040 | Allow Negative as - | |||||
| IS_NUM_ALLOW_NEG_HOLE | 0x00000080 | Allow Negative as () | |||||
| Output Results | |||||||
| IS_NUM_HAS_DECIMAL | 0x00100000 | Has Decimal | |||||
| IS_NUM_HAS_COMMAS | 0x00200000 | Has Commas | |||||
| IS_NUM_HAS_NEG_DASH | 0x00400000 | Has Negative as - | |||||
| IS_NUM_HAS_NEG_HOLE | 0x00800000 | Has Negative as () | |||||
The output results are placed in the last error value. Note that if the function returns FALSE, some output bits may not be set.
Only the US locale is supported at this time. Decimals must have a trailing digit. Commas require a leading digit and trailing three digits in the form of n.nnn.
Only ‘-’ or parenthesis may be used for negative values but not both.
Use the HasNumeric function to test if the string contains one or more numeric characters.
