Verifying Whether a String Contains a Number

Question:
Is there a function that gives me a simple way to know whether a string contains a number or not?

I’ve already done something with ASCII values, but this doesn’t seem to be efficient.

Answer:
Actually the ascii() function is quite fast and that is the way to tell whether a character is alphabetical or numeric.
