Yes, that is the fastest, but of course it doesn't give the position of the
first digit.

Did some timing, running on this string:
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa2aaabbbbbbbbbbb 3bbb"

Jim 4 msecs
RBS 24 msecs
Ron 5200 msecs

Of course the VBScript method will be a lot faster if the first 3 lines of
code are taken out of the function.

What is the most efficient way to determine if any of the characters of a
string are digits?
One example would be a function that returns "TRUE" if one or more
characters of its single argument are digits and "FALSE" otherwise.
Thanks!!
