Position of alphabet in a alphanumeric value 1

[LJS1]

Hi all,
How to search the position of the first alphabet in a alphanemric value.
For eg.
"12345 QRS"
I want the position of the Q , 7

I wrote the Instr function like
pos = Instr("12345 QRS","[A-Z]*&quot
It is not giving the result.

Thanks,
Ljs

You probably want something cleaner but the following may work for you:

        Dim pos As Integer
        Dim strString As String
        Dim strChar As String

        strString = "12345 QRS"
        For pos = 1 To strString.Length
            strChar = Mid(strString, pos, 1)
            If Asc(strChar) > 64 And Asc(strChar) < 123 Then
                Exit For
            End If
        Next
        Response.Write(&quot;Position: &quot; & pos)

Don't forget about the System.Char class and the isLetter() method!
