How to check if a String contains any letter from a to z? [duplicate]

I could just use the code below:
String hello = "Hello1";
Char[] convertedString = String.ToCharArray();
int errorCounter = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < CreateAccountPage_PasswordBox_Password.Password.Length; i++) {
if (convertedString[i].Equals('a') || convertedString[i].Equals('A') .....
|| convertedString[i].Equals('z') || convertedString[i].Equals('Z')) {
errorCounter++;
}
}
if(errorCounter > 0) {
//do something
}
but I suppose it takes too much line for just a simple purpose, I believe there is a way which is much more simple, the way which I have not yet mastered.
What about:
//true if it doesn't contain letters
bool result = hello.Any(x => !char.IsLetter(x));
Replace your for loop
by this :
errorCounter = Regex.Matches(yourstring,@"[a-zA-Z]").Count;
Remember to use Regex
class, you have to using System.Text.RegularExpressions;
in your import
