The title of the post is wrong

I just need a fuction that checks wether a string is a letter or not. For example:
input "3" output false
input "a" output true
input ";" output false
Something like that...

When you check for the value of a non-numeric string, it returns zero.

So if this is false ...

+Val(String$("whatever")) <> 0

...It would mean that the string is a letter.
Only downside is that it would also return false for a "0"

And ";" would also be false, which is something I don't want. Is there a character->ASCII extension availible?
