Can Condition Statement use [a-z] to check if value has a letter in it?

I am using a Condition Statement in the AttributeManager to check if the attribute ends with a letter. Using [a-z] does not seem to work and I am assuming it is because the test sees it as text not a Regular Expression.

Is there a way to get this to work or do I need to have a Test Clause for each letter of the alphabet?

Regards

Try this instead:

The $-sign at the end of the regex means "end-of-line"

That sure did it, thank you kindly. Is there a way to have it not be case sensitive?

That sure did it, thank you kindly. Is there a way to have it not be case sensitive?

 

 

You can use the following expression to match both lower and upper case:

 

[a-zA-Z]$
