You could add an additional clause to the if to check is a number. Use isNaN (https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_isnan.asp)and, if it returns false, then it's a numeric value.
So, just to check... you're trying to find all the child objects from the SVG item that are TextNode, correct? That, I'm assuming, is the "ObjectType" of the objects.
I'm not saying don't use regular expressions, but I don't see that it's necessary. You can do the same, I believe, with the following.
for(var tabLoop = 0; tabLoop < 1; tabLoop++){
broadAssetChartPath.Panel(tabLoop).Panel("chart*").Panel(0).SVG(0).Refresh();
sectionCount = broadAssetChartPath.Panel(tabLoop).Panel("chart*").Panel(0).SVG(0).ChildCount;
for(sectionLoop = 0; sectionLoop < sectionCount; sectionLoop++){
sectionCheck = broadAssetChartPath.Panel(tabLoop).Panel("chart*").Panel(0).SVG(0).Child(sectionLoop);
Log.Message(sectionCheck.Name);
if(sectionCheck.ObjectType = 'TextNode')
Log.Message(sectionCheck.Name + ":" + sectionCheck.contentText);
}
}I am not just looking for Child objects that are of TextNode ObjectType. I am also looking for TextNode types that have an ObjectIndentifier of a digit(s) without any letters. That is the reason I am trying to use a RegExp.

I will give that a try.
However, I do notice a pattern here. Only recently have I been having issues with the use of Regular Expressions in TestComplete, both native and non-native. Each time when I would look through the posts on the community boards dealing with RegExp, the solutions (mostly from the mods) would almost exclusively steer the posters from using RegExp. I know that the TestComplete docs state that we can use RegExp in our code and the many ways to do it. If there is some issue with Regular Expressions in TestComplete, then we need to be notified and told how to workaround it. For many of us, using Regular Expressions is a straightforward way to get what we need done.
bb1832j There is no "issue" with regular expressions in TestComplete. Just that, as Marsha_R said, there may be a way to accomplish the same thing without having to use them. Regular expressions are powerful, useful, and do some great things. But, they can be tricky, sometimes, to get the syntax proper. So, if there is a way of achieving the same result without having to debug the expression... I take it every time.
Please let us know if my suggestion works for you.
THAT SAID...
The problem with your regular expressions is that you don't have them defined as regular expressions. You have them working off of a string... and that's not the correct syntax for the native regular expression object in JavaScript. (see https://www.w3schools.com/jsref/jsref_obj_regexp.asp)
Change your declaration to
var testText = /TextNode(5)/; var testText1 = /TextNode\(\d+\)/;
and try again. Note the use of the "/" character and rthe removal of the quotes.
