I couldn't find "RegExp" in the InDesign script model--could you give a bit more information about what this is? I don't know how to iterate through the contents of an XMLElement as individual character objects, so I'm iterating throught XML.contents, putting each character in a basic string variable. I need a way to put strings into a With statement, or a Like operator. I haven't had success with either technique.

Here's an example:

strTime = myCurrentXMLElement.contents
strTime = Trim(strTime)
strLength = Len(strTime)
For counter = 1 to strLength
	strTemp = Mid(strTime, counter, 1)
        [This is where I need to find out if strTemp is a letter or a digit]
