Question

Below is what I have in table myTable

+++++++++++++++
+ id + myWord +
+++++++++++++++
+  1 + AB123  +
+  2 + A413D  +
+  3 + X5231  +
+  4 + ABE921 +
+++++++++++++++

When I execute

SELECT id, Locate('1',myWord) as myPos
FROM myTable;

I get position of 1.

+++++++++++++++
+ id + myPos  +
+++++++++++++++
+  1 + 3      +
+  2 + 3      +
+  3 + 5      +
+  4 + 6      +
+++++++++++++++

What I want to achieve is finding first position of integer so that I will have below output.

+++++++++++++++++++++++
+ id + myWord + myPos +
+++++++++++++++++++++++
+  1 + AB123  +  3    +
+  2 + A413D  +  2    +
+  3 + X5231  +  2    +
+  4 + ABE921 +  4    +
+++++++++++++++++++++++

Any Idea how I can achieve this?
