Below is ELisp code to test two lists. One is a list of strings that
would be acceptable numbers in Emacs ELisp. The second is a list of strings
that are not valid numbers. The code tests each string in each list.
<syntaxhighlight lang="lisp">
(setq valid-strings '("3" "0" "-0" "2." "1000" "-4" "-5." "6.2" "-8.45" "+15e2" "-15e2" "#b101100" "#o54" "#x2c" "1500.0" "#24r1k" "3"))
 
(setq invalid-strings '("3cat" "1,000" "5.6.7" "cat3" "def" "zero"))
 
(with-current-buffer (pop-to-buffer "my-test")
(erase-buffer)
(insert "Test for valid strings:\n")
(dolist (test-string valid-strings)
(let ((test-result))
(setq test-result (string-valid-number-p test-string))
(insert (format "%-8s - %s \n" test-string test-result))))
(insert "\n" "\n")
(insert "Test for invalid strings:\n")
(dolist (test-string invalid-strings)
(let ((test-result))
(setq test-result (string-valid-number-p test-string))
(insert (format "%-5s - %s \n" test-string test-result)))))

Below is the result of the tests:
