It would be great to know what kind of variables these are. Please post more of the code.

If you are using <string> or <char>, remember that data of these types are actually stored by their ASCII values. You could use if() statements to check if the characters in a given string are within a particular range of values.

You can find a copy of the ASCII chart here.
