ISDSNAME

Purpose:

Returns 1 if string is in dataset.ver.series format.

Syntax:

ISDSNAME("dsname")

"dsname"

A string, the Dataset name to test.

Returns:

1 if the string represents a well formed series name, else 0.

Example:

a = isdsname("RUN1");

b = isdsname("RUN1.1X1.ANALOG1");

c = isdsname("RUN1.1.ANALOG1");

Both a and b are 0 indicating the string is not in valid dataset.ver.series format and c == 1, indicating the string represents a valid dataset/series name.

Remarks:

ISDSNAME checks if the input string is in dataset.ver.series format where ver must be integer. This format represents a valid name for an internally saved series.

ISDSNAME returns 0 if the input is not a string.
