[Solved]Detecting a number when it's in a string

I found my self confuzzled and cornered. However I'm sure someone here has ran across this lil problem, and may have found or know of a solution.

I'm reading a inifile, then trimming the first character in the string and testing if it is an integer. However I have found that if a number is in string format, that IsInt() will not return it as an integer. same goes for IsNumber()

Example:

Local $aString[3] = ['Test', '2', 3]

For $i = 0 To UBound( $aString ) - 1
   MsgBox('','', IsNumber( $aString[$i])) ;returns only the last one as Int
   MsgBox('','', IsNumber( Int($aString[$i]))) ;returns all three as Int
   MsgBox('','', IsInt( $aString[$i])) ;also returns only the last one as Int
   MsgBox('','', IsInt( Int($aString[$i]))) ;again returns all three as Int
Next

I have attempted to write my own solution

Local $aString[3] = ['N', '2', 3]

For $i = 0 To UBound( $aString ) - 1
   MsgBox('',$aString[$i], _IsStringCharNum($aString[$i]))
Next

Func _IsStringCharNum( $sString )
   If StringLen( $sString ) > 1 Then Return SetError(1)
   For $z = 0 To 9
      If $z = $sString Then Return (1)
   Next
   Return (0)
EndFunc

This does return the stringed '2' as an integer however it counts letters as 0, thus everything is returned as an integer.

Hopefully someone has found a solution to this lil dilemma.

Edit: NVM, While reading over IsInt() in the helpfile for the third time, found the link to StringIsInt() *Embarrased*
