Hi,

How to check the content of variable is numeric or alpha numeric

Suppose my variable temp=123 and temp=Ad34n
so I have put an condition

when temp='NUMRIC' then do this and when temp='ALPHA NUMRIC' then do this


thanks,
Dishant

Easy in 2.0 - you can use regular expressions, or test "$x castable as xs:integer".

In 1.0 you can play tricks with translate:

translate($x, '0123456789', '') = ''

will be true only if all characters in $x are digits.
