Hi @Dicky_Feng ,

 

You can use the following regex expression in regex tool: [a-zA-Z]+

Example attached as well.

Thanks~ I think it works.

 

Although it show True for English only, I could reverse the match status to indicate the field contain Chinese Character~

Hi @Dicky_Feng,

 

You could change @fmvizcaino's expression slightly to [!a-zA-Z]+ which would stop the need to reverse your true false string.

 

Regards,

Jonathan
