Oops, I guess I misread the intent of the original line; I thought
you were just checking to see if the line could be a number, and were
interested in a more efficient way to quickly test it without a lot
of overhead. And, actually, the 'quickie' test with Asc will even
allow you to put comments after the number in the file, whereas the
original call to IsNumber() would - I believe - fail if there were
extra non-numeric characters after the 1st numeric character, so:
1 // <- translates to 'Case 1'
would pass with the Asc() test, but would fail on the IsNumber() test
(I think - I haven't actually tried it myself.) Of course, I didn't
try the perl test either; not being a perl fan myself.
Granted, this approach, while allowing comments, doesn't
necessarily define what the comment character is!

How about:
If (Asc(line) >= 48) And (Asc(line) <= 57) Then
No good as one of the text lines might start with an integer. I
needed to
know if the *whole* line was comprised of integers.
I could have split the string and put that code in a loop, I guess,
but I
assume there will be a penalty there too. I'll try it and report back.
