How to determine if string represents a valid numeric

[Jim77215]

Using Labview (6.1), what is the easiest way to determine if a string represents a valid numeric?

[EdDickens]

Try using the "Scan From String" function on the string palette. Using a format specifier of "%f" or "%d" will try to format the string into a number. If the string contains anything besides numbers, the function should generate an error.
