    Simple and nice article,

    some time back i was working on validating a column in the database and i came across this issue and we had this function to validate.

    This poster brings up a good point: "-" and ".".

    If you're looking for valid numbers, I agree. If you're looking for an "IsAllDigits" function, you wouldn't want to include those two characters.

    yes we were looking at the valid numbers and used this function.

    i got this function from the below URL
