Distinguish from values in the same column

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knows how i can distinguish values in the same column that start with a letter.

For example i got orders that when are generated from source A they are just numbers, but when generated from source B they have 4 letters in the start. What i really want to do is a button that would only select the ones that are only numbers. I thought i could try to create a flag in the load script that could differenciate between a number and a string, but im not sure how to do this.

thanks for your help guys,

KR
