assigning (numeric) command output to var tcsh
Hello,
I'm trying to assign a numeric value that is returned from one of my programs to a variable in tcsh. I want to do:
@ r10 = './my_prog file 35'
where ./my_prog file 35 returns a decimal value, but this doesn't work. How do I achieve the desired result?

is_numeric
IS_NUMERIC(3) 1 IS_NUMERIC(3)
is_numeric - Finds whether a variable is a number or a numeric string
SYNOPSIS
bool is_numeric (mixed $var)
DESCRIPTION
Finds whether the given variable is numeric. Numeric strings consist of optional sign, any number of digits, optional decimal part and
optional exponential part. Thus +0123.45e6 is a valid numeric value. Hexadecimal (e.g. 0xf4c3b00c), Binary (e.g. 0b10100111001), Octal
(e.g. 0777) notation is allowed too but only without sign, decimal and exponential part.
PARAMETERS
o $var
- The variable being evaluated.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE if $var is a number or a numeric string, FALSE otherwise.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
is_numeric(3) examples
<?php
$tests = array(
"42",
1337,
0x539,
02471,
0b10100111001,
1337e0,
"not numeric",
array(),
9.1
);
foreach ($tests as $element) {
if (is_numeric($element)) {
echo "'{$element}' is numeric", PHP_EOL;
} else {
echo "'{$element}' is NOT numeric", PHP_EOL;
}
}
?>
