Need REFindNoCase Help

[wjs-Az4Dsw]

I've been tasked with creating a simple validation for Canadian zip codes. The idea is that the first character of the zip code being entered need to contain one of the following letters:

ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY

They don't necessarily have to be capatilzed.

I'm not good at regular expressions at all, so needless to say I'm having a heck of a time trying to make this work. It seems easy enough; can anyone help me figure out how to do this?

See code below

<CFSET foo = "R3B 3L7">
<CFIF REFindNoCase("[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]", foo)>
Found it
<CFELSE>
Didn't find it
</CFIF>

I believe the addition of a carrot [^] will specify that the found
letter must be at the beginning of the string, not anywhere in the string.

<CFSET foo = "R3B 3L7">
<CFIF REFindNoCase("^[ABCEGHJKLMNPRSTVXY]", foo)>
Found it
<CFELSE>
Didn't find it
</CFIF>

Ian is correct. And while looking into this, I came across the following in Ben Forta's excellent book Regular Expressions in 10 Minutes - finding Canadian postal codes in an address line.

Thanks, guys. I got it to work. It wasn't quite as simple as that because of another condition I forgot about, but it's working now.
