isnum -> isdec / ishex - mIRC Discussion Forums

an addition for isnum to incorporate decimal and hex...

currently I check for hex using:

Code:

alias ishex {
  if (!$len($remove($1,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,a,b,c,d,e,f))) return $true
  else return $false
}

which is a very simple and fast (non-regexp) solution...
but since hex is a highly used system it might be nice to have a build in way like isnum

(note: this isn't some high priority thing... just a nice idea which is easely scripted)

Personally, I doubt I would use 'ishex', nor would many others, however thats not to say it couldnt be a valuable addition.

Eamonn.

isbinary for auto binary translaters.

This is actually something that i've occasionally needed. It is really easy to script with regex or whatnot, but a built-in version might be nice.

alias ishex if ($1 == $base($1,16,16)) return $true

This would fail with numbers like 00012EF. You could use $base($1,16,16,$len($1)) to fix it.
