I have a string field that contains
a) Numeric Characters
b) Alpha Characters
c) Null Values

How can I separate the Fields that contain Alpha's from the fields that contain numerics. When I use " tonumber" it hangs up on the
null's and if I set the nulls to "0" it does not like the fact that the "String is non Numeric"

Thanks

Mike
 
try the isNumberic() function, which retuens either true or false. Software Training and Support for Macola, Crystal Reports and Goldmine
