A quick little routine to tell you if a string is a number, or not.
Code: (Select All) Function IsNum%% (PassedText As String)
text$ = PassedText
special$ = UCase$(Left$(text$, 2))
Select Case special$
Case "&H", "&B", "&O"
'check for symbols on right side of value
r3$ = Right$(text$, 3)
Select Case r3$
Case "~&&", "~%%", "~%&" 'unsigned int64, unsigned byte, unsigned offset
text$ = Left$(text$, Len(text$) - 3)
Case Else
r2$ = Right$(text$, 2)
Select Case r2$
Case "~&", "##", "%&", "%%", "~%", "&&" 'unsigned long, float, offset, byte, unsigned integer, int64
text$ = Left$(text$, Len(text$) - 2)
Case Else
r$ = Right$(text$, 1)
Select Case r$
Case "&", "#", "%", "!" 'long, double, integer, single
text$ = Left$(text$, Len(text$) - 1)
End Select
End Select
End Select
check$ = "0123456789ABCDEF"
If special$ = "&O" Then check$ = "01234567"
If special$ = "&B" Then check$ = "01"
temp$ = Mid$(UCase$(text$), 2)
For i = 1 To Len(temp$)
If InStr(check$, Mid$(temp$, i, 1)) = 0 Then Exit For
Next
If i <= Len(temp$) Then IsNum = -1
Case Else
If _Trim$(Str$(Val(text$))) = text$ Then IsNum = -1
End Select
End Function
Note that this may fail if you're dealing with values that are so large they translate into scientific notation on you. "1234567890123456788901234567890" is NOT going to be counted as a number, as QB64 would expect to see this written as "1.234567E30", and your string definitely isn't going to compare to that string. (And the values probably won't match either, as you lost multiple digits to rounding when it became a scientific notation value.)
If you look close, you'll see that this function is basically one line of code, unless you happen to be passing it &H, &B, &O values -- in which case it has to work much harder to see if the string you passed it is a valid number, or not.

And, if one ever needs to know more than just "Is it a number?", there's always my overengineered NumType function. It'll tell you everything you ever wanted to know about your string and the number types associated with it -- and probably then some!
Code: (Select All) Const limit = 16
Dim test(limit) As String
Data "123a.3","-123.456","--234","1.23E15","123","dogfood","678.965","54678","-987134","1E15"
Data "&HFF","&B1001111","&O17","&HFF&&","&B12000222","1.E-12"
For i = 1 To limit
Read test(i)
Next
For i = 1 To limit
Print "TEST #"; i; ": "; test(i) + " "
result = NumType(test(i))
If result = 0 Then Print "INVALID: "; NumErr$
If result And 1 Then Print "Valid Unsigned Bit. ";
If result And 2 Then Print "Valid Unsigned Byte. ";
If result And 4 Then Print "Valid Unsigned Integer. ";
If result And 8 Then Print "Valid Unsigned Long. ";
If result And 16 Then Print "Valid Unsigned Integer64. ";
If result And 32 Then Print "Valid Unsigned Bit. ";
If result And 64 Then Print "Valid Signed Byte. ";
If result And 128 Then Print "Valid Signed Integer. ";
If result And 256 Then Print "Valid Signed Long. ";
If result And 512 Then Print "Valid Signed Integer64. ";
If result And 1024 Then Print "Valid Single. ";
If result And 2048 Then Print "Valid Double. ";
If result And 4096 Then Print "Valid Float. ";
If result And 8192 Then Print "Valid Unsigned Offset. ";
If result And 16384 Then Print "Valid Signed Offset. ";

Interesting!
You know, I stumbled on a bunch of C library routines that were from std lib. Maybe these could be helpful too?
Code: (Select All) DECLARE LIBRARY
**'ctime.h**
FUNCTION clock () 'arithmetic type elapsed processor representing time.
FUNCTION difftime# (BYVAL time2 AS _UNSIGNED LONG, BYVAL time1 AS _UNSIGNED LONG)
'seconds between time2 and time1
**'ctype.h**
FUNCTION isalnum% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is an alphabet letter(isalpha(c) or isdigit(c))
FUNCTION isalpha% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is letter (isupper(c) or islower(c))
FUNCTION isdigit% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is a decimal digit
FUNCTION isgraph% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is a printing character other than space
FUNCTION islower% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is a lower-case letter
FUNCTION isprint% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is printing character. ASCII: &H20 (" ") to &H7E (~)
FUNCTION ispunct% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is printing character other than space, letter, digit
FUNCTION isspace% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is space, formfeed, newline, return, tab, vertical tab
FUNCTION isupper% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is upper-case letter
FUNCTION isxdigit% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER)'is a hexdecimal digit character(0 thru 9 or A thru F)
FUNCTION tolower% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'return lower-case equivalent
FUNCTION toupper% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'return upper-case equivalent
Are these usable by QB64 somehow? I found these in the wiki. https://qb64phoenix.com/qb64wiki/index.php/C_Libraries
I am not suggesting your code for isNum should be changed, or abandoned. Just asking. isdigit% would be similar?

You have to copy the file ctype.h into the QB64PE directory I guess to make this work, but it does work.
I found my ctype.h file here: i:\git\QB64pe\internal\c\c_compiler\x86_64-w64-mingw32\include\
Copied that to i:\git\QB64pe\
Then used like this:
Code: (Select All) DECLARE LIBRARY
FUNCTION isdigit% (BYVAL c AS INTEGER) 'is a decimal digit
END DECLARE
PRINT isdigit%(ASC("$")) ' returns 0
PRINT isdigit%(ASC("7")) ' returns 1

Most of these are so trivial to write, that it's just not worth the effort to import a DECLARE LIBRARY to do them. For example:
Code: (Select All) FUNCTION IsDigit (a AS INTEGER)
IF a >= 48 AND a <=57 THEN IsDigit = -1
END FUNCTION
Code: (Select All) FUNCTION IsLower(a AS INTEGER)
IF a AND 32 Then IsLower = -1
END FUNCTION
Code: (Select All) FUNCTION ToLower(a AS INTEGER)
ToLower = a OR 32
END FUNCTION
Code: (Select All) FUNCTION ToUpper(a AS INTEGER)
ToUpper = a AND NOT 32
END FUNCTION
(And I got tired of scrolling up and down to look and see what else was in the list of things you had, but they all seem to be about that simple to implement. )
