For those who might be wondering, here's how to check if a string can be evaluated as a number:
1 | local myString = "1.23" |
2 | local myNumber = tonumber(myString) |
3 |
4 | if (type(myNumber) == "number") then |
5 | -- do something with myNumber |
6 | else |
7 | -- myString cannot be evaluated as a number |
8 | end |
