      From: fizzbintuesday@that-google-mail-domain.com              I want to know if a variable equals a number, with no letters in it.              I know you can check with FOR /F "DELIMS=0123456789" but it looks like a       simpler way is just to test like so:              if A gtr 1000 echo That's a letter              or              if 4A gtr 1000 echo That contains a letter              This assumes that I know what the highest possible number will be, so if       the first value is a number it will always be less.              Is there a problem in doing this?                     --       Defund the Thought Police              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
