How to check if String variable's value conatins only numbers?

[Gerry O'Rourke]

Hi,

Can anyone give a simple example of checking if a variable string contains only numbers (for UCCX Script editor)?

I was unable to get "isNumeric" to work.

I don't see isNumeric in the list of available methods for a String object.  Where did you come up with that?

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/java/lang/String.html

With the available methods in the Script editor drop down of Methods for Strings, ?.matches() seems to do the trick pretty easily:

Set test = "123"
If (test.matches("[0-9]+"))
  True
    /* This string looks like an int */
  False

Though, this isn't going to match a float/double types.

Anthony,

Thank you very much. Tested and it works lovely.

I'm glad it helped. Why do you wrap the whole expression in parenthesis? Is it because of my example? If so, I was only doing that to illustrate how it looks after you enter the expression, not that it's a part of the expression. Sorry for the confusion.
