Sorry, this is my first time posting here... let me try that again:
#!/usr/bin/perl
$string = $ARGV[0];
for(split(//,$string)) {
if(($_ * $_ == 0) && $_ ne '0') {
print "alpha: $string\n";
exit(0);
}
}
print "numeric: $string\n";

jkauffman,
Unfortunately this code fails for special chars (@,#,$,%...), if you $_++, the the special chars=>1, but alphas increment. If you look at my code above you will see that our attempts are similar, $_**2 is the same as $_ * $_, and does remove the the numbers (except 0) again this is why you would use $_++, adding that first takes care of the zero. I am just not sure if my code above filters all special chars.
Good attempt, we were thinking similar ;)
