    this may help if you Ignore only first number char from Str

    select * from Table where isnumeric(left(column_name,1))=0

    Oh, be careful now. IsNumeric shouldn't be used as a digit test. Please see the following article on that, please...

    RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
    First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
    ________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

    Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.
