OT - Numeric Test Program?

[bradwiseathome]

Can anyone recommend a command-line callable .exe that will say if a
given parameter is numeric or not? I am writing a CMD and I need to
create an IF statement if a variable is numeric or not. I need to do a
kind of "isnumeric" comparison in my batch script.

Thanks.
