Something like
lcBadChars='0123456789'
lcFirstGoodChar=left(Chrtran(lcMystring, Chrtran(lcMystring,lcBadChars,""), ""),1)
lnFirstPos=at(lcFirstGoodChar,lcMystring)
Update! I was too quick, should have tested first. :-) I try again
lcBadChars='0123456789'
lcFirstGoodChar=Left(Chrtran(lcmyString,lcBadChars,''),1)
lnFirstPos=at(lcFirstGoodChar,lcMystring)
