Using RegExp with aqString.Contains

[TruthVoyager]

I am trying to check to see if a string contains any letters using the following code. 

          if(aqString.Contains(info[i], /[A-Za-z]/) != -1)
          {
            an = "a";
          }

This if returns false even when it should return true. Any idea what is wrong? 

Thank you,

According to this

https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqstring/methods.html

"contains" is obsolete

"find" is the replacement

See if that works for you.

ETA:  This looks like a better option

and here is TC information on regular expressions

Also, both "contains" and "find" don't support regular expressions.  The second parameter is the literal "sub-string" that you're searching for, not a regular expression.  This is why you're getting a false every time.  If you want to determine if a string contains another string based upon regular expression, you should use aqString.StrMatches (https://support.smartbear.com/testcomplete/docs/reference/program-objects/aqstring/strmatches.html)
