took 131 seconds.  By substituting val( line ) <> 0 for isNumeric

Unfortunately, that?s not the same thing. For example, this line would
return true:

 Val( ?33back? ).

I wasn't actually suggesting that it was equivalent.

I was suggesting that the IsNumeric routine is very slow compared to the string concatenation by joining arrays part of it.
