Re: non numeric data

true only when it has a non numeric data

I'd personally try this first:

if ($array_H[$i] =~ m/\D/ ) 
{
    block;
}
[download]

where \D matches any one character that isn't 0..9.

Now empty strings and all-0-9-stuff pass, everything else enters the block.

`/\D/` matches 1.1, -4 and 1000000000000000 (depending on your CPU architecture). `package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name`	[reply] [d/l]
