How to find the number pattern in Javascript?

Question

From My database I'll get two kinds of numbers

We'll call second type of number as special type. How to detect those kind of numbers. for ex like

isSpecialNumber("a1234z1") should return true or false.

How can I do that in Javascript ?

What kind of number is a1234z1? It doesn't look very numeric to me...? — neminem, Jul 09 '14 at 19:20
Check if your number contains alphabets: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14783196/how-to-check-in-javascript-that-a-string-contains-alphabetical-characters — AliBZ, Jul 09 '14 at 19:20

You could just test if its a number:

isNaN("a1234z1");

unless you need it to be that exact format then a regex would be needed.
