Hi Kevin, You have found correctly that the string functions don't support wildcards/regular expression functionality. The [a-z] wildcard is supported by the LIKE operator however. You can create a simple loop via a filter guide to move through the string until you come across a matching lowercase letter, then exit the loop and the number of iterations is the position of the character.
