How do I check to see if a string includes (or does not contain) an integer or
number. I am trying to check the Address form field to see if it 'Does Not
Contain' a number as in 316 Spring Creek Dr. I want to see if they left out the
316. Thanks in advance for any help.
Is there a way to check the whole string and not just the first part in case it
is a P.O. Box 316?
