Variable Equals Alphabetic Character

[willut72 0]

I am pulling in a string from a table and attempting to look at a text string to identify if it starts with an alphabetic character (i.e. A-Z), and if it does I want to insert a space (i.e. " ").  I was attempting to do this with a regular expression, but I must be missing something, below is a snippet of the code I am using.  I think I must be missing something in how I am attempting to identify the alphabetic characters.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

set(#SomeTextString, $table cell(&SomeTable, #SpecificRecord, 4), "Global")

            set(#1stLetterSomeTextString, $substring(#SomeTextString, 0, 1), "Global")

            if($find regular expression(#1stLetterSomeTextString, "[A-Z]")) {

                then {

                    set(#SomeTextString, $insert text(#SomeTextString, " ", 0), "Global")

                }

                else {

                    set(#SomeTextString, $table cell(&SomeTable, #SpecificRecord, 4), "Global")

                }

            }

You can't just use "find regular expression" inside if condition...if text that regex returns is different than "True",  bot will always go into else statement (this is what happens in your case, that's why insertion doesn't work).

 

This is how you do it properly:

set(#SomeTextString, "Test", "Global")
set(#stLetterSomeTextString, $substring(#SomeTextString, 0, 1), "Global")
if($comparison($text length($find regular expression(#stLetterSomeTextString, "[A-Z]")), ">", 0)) {
    then {
        set(#SomeTextString, $insert text(#SomeTextString, " ", 0), "Global")
    }
    else {
    }
}

That worked thanks!
