lcmyString = "123456789 Boldorn"
? AT(LEFT(CHRTRAN(lcmyString, "123456789",[]),1),lcmyString)

lcmyString = "Boldor2121212n"
? AT(LEFT(CHRTRAN(lcmyString, "123456789",[]),1),lcmyString)

lcmyString = " Boldorn 123456789"
? AT(LEFT(CHRTRAN(lcmyString, "123456789",[]),1),lcmyString)
The first returns 10 becasue space is non-numeric :-)
