According to your example you want to check whether a string
represents an integer value (floats are numeric, too).

You can use Integer() to do that:
Ruby version 1.8.7
irb(main):001:0> %w{34 34sdfds 34.90}.each do |s| printf "%p: %p\n",
s, (Integer(s) rescue false) end
"34": 34
"34sdfds": false
"34.90": false
=> ["34", "34sdfds", "34.90"]
But actually you do not need a separate check, just use Integer to
convert the string to a Fixnum / Bignum and deal with the exception.
Kind regards
