To find out if the value in string is double or integer

Question

Hello,
I am getting a value from a db which is a string,but some of those
values could be doubles or integers
is there a way to check a string as if it were a double or int,
something like
String s="25.05"; //a double but is a string
if(isDouble.s){
//do some
the point is that I am not sure which string might have a double or int value
so I would rather test every string,and if they are double or float then proces or
else if they are not the do something else with them,
Help is greatly appreciated

Hi,
One possible solution is to parse the String into a double and catch the exception:
String s="25.05";
try {
Double dbl = new Double(s);
// do some
} catch (NumberFormatException ex) {}Hope this helps,
Kurt.
