Ok Bill, this is unlikely to happen, as I get values from another
application and in case of integer values it outputs with .00
extension.
But for the sake of precision (or if in the future I would go and
catch up this part of code for another reason... more likely to happen
;-) you are right and I changed the regex in my script.

BTW also the second suggestion by Jake worked; it only was with more
typed characters....
Thanks again
