Wildmatch Function

Is there a way to check the string if it is preceded by a number?

For example:

String = "1234 abcdefg"

Wildmatch(String,'*# abcd*') > 0

Try to use like 

String = "1234 abcdefg"

=WildMatch(String,  '*abcd*')

=If(IsNum(Left('1234 abcdefg',1)),'Num','Not Num')

=If(IsNum(SubField('1234 abcdefg',' ',1)),'Num','Not Num')

I Used Wildmatch(String, '?????abcd*') > 0 instead.

This expr returns true even if you have alphabets

Wildmatch('abcd abcd', '?????abcd*') > 0
