Hey!

Try this

Assign String output = input.Substring(0)

In if condition

isNumeric(output)=True

Use “Is Macth” activity for verify the first character is numeric or not. Attached image which has the regular expression used to check.

HI,

FYI, simpler, the following expression returns true if the first character is numeric

IsNumeric(yourString.FirstOrDefault)
