I think that you want to use a subroutine to strip out all the non- integer items in your passwords, leaving the numerical items which you can then operate on. The following script would do this for you:


set the comparisonString to "0123456789" set the sourceString to "PJB123" set the newText to ""

repeat with x from 1 to the count characters in sourceString
	set myInteger to character x of sourceString
	if myInteger is in comparisonString then
		set newText to newText & myInteger
	end if
end repeat
display dialog newText

If userName were always a string, then

If (username > 1 and username <10)

would never work.


Or rather would work, but would return false.

As I interpret the OP, we can have

userName = "J Bloggs"

or

userName = "12345"

both of which are strings, but only the latter will coerce without error to a number.
