function is_number, inarray
;+
;NAME:
;	is_number
;PURPOSE:
;	Test string (or array of strings) to see if it is a number
;SAMPLE CALLING SEQUENCE:
;	out = is_number(inarray)
;	print, is_number(v)
;	print, is_number('xx')
;	out = is_number('66.6e')
;INPUT:
;	inarray - The string(s) to test
;OUTPUT:
;	out	- Boolean array (0 means not a string, 1 means it is)
;METHOD:
;	Use READS and trap on any errors with ON_IOERROR
