The idea behind my first post on this thread was for you to try this:
if typeOf(getWord()) == "int" then
; Int-related stuff.
else ; string
; String-related stuff.
endIf

It's a block of text that is retrieved by using the GetWord () function.
So my script would say:
If (GetWord () == Number) Then
Do the following...
ElIf (GetWord () == Text) Then
Do the following...
EndIf
So functions like StringContains and
StringCompare aren't quite what I'm looking for.
I want a function that will check to see if the
entire contents of GetWord () is a number or text string.
