Is This Shot A Foul?

I played the cue ball so that it bounced off a rail, it then hit my ball but my ball did not go in a pocket or hit a rail, and the cue ball did not subsequently hit a rail either.

Is this a foul?

Thanks for any clarification you can give.

   Pretty sure it is.

   I think you'll find the language in the "general rules" not necessarily 8-ball.

   You can find it on this webpage near the top.

   Thanks, Zeke.

   I just checked those rules.

   It's clear that after the cue ball hits the object ball, one of them must hit a rail or the object ball must be pocketed, irrespective of whether the cue ball came off a rail before it hit the object ball.

   That's how I read it as well...
