try and convert the first value in the split list to a int (or float), if
that works then post the value.
if it throws an exception (ValueError) then catch that and pass, or do
whatever else needs doing with the listing.
def postData(inputData):
fields=inputData.split("-")
try:
numberfield=int(fields[0])
#do whatever voodoo needed
print "%s posted" %inputData
except ValueError:
print "%s not posted" %inputData
pass
#move on to other fields
inputValue=["12-Foo-Fee","Bla-Ble-blu"]
for entry in inputValue:
postData(entry)

[Tutor] Help with checking for a data type
I have a script that is taking a directory list, the script then splits
the name up by the hyphens in the name. The first part of the name should
be a number, but it isn't always a number. Is there a way to say: if its
a number then post this data....if not discard?
