how to check if something is only numbers in delphi
To check if a string contains only numbers in Delphi, you can use the StrToIntDef
function and check if it raises an exception. Here's an example:
function IsNumeric(const Str: string): Boolean;
var
Value: Integer;
begin
try
Value := StrToIntDef(Str, 0);
Result := True;
except
Result := False;
end;
end;
In the example above, the IsNumeric
function takes a string Str
as input and tries to convert it to an integer using StrToIntDef
. If the conversion is successful, it means the string contains only numbers, and the function returns True
. Otherwise, if an exception is raised, it means the string contains non-numeric characters, and the function returns False
.
You can use this function to check if a string contains only numbers in Delphi. For example:
if IsNumeric('12345') then
ShowMessage('The string contains only numbers')
else
ShowMessage('The string contains non-numeric characters');
This will display a message box indicating whether the string contains only numbers or not.
Please note that the IsNumeric
function only checks if the string contains integer numbers. If you need to check for floating-point numbers or other numeric formats, you may need to modify the function accordingly.
