  Used regular expression to see if the input is numeric, otherwise prompts the user to re-enter.

Some comments:
1. Use same indentation style as the rest of the script
   This follows the mantra that all repairs should like
   the original code.
2. If user gives bad data, an error should be printed
   and not silently ignored.
3.The variable "re" doesn't need to be a temporary variable.

4. The [[ construct is a bash only thing, and not used elsewhere
   in the script.
