to find the first numeric line?

[dunbarx at aol.com]

Just so, and his data was alphanumeric. After sorting, he wanted to find the first line that had a digit as char 1. Since alpha sorts before numbers, he wanted to find the line number where a transition, for example, might have been:


a1
a2
1a --this line
1b


The old fashioned way may have been the best, especially with "repeat for each..."

Great idea, but I think he wants to know the line position in the string. I 
could be wrong.
