Something like:
C<-c("Abc", "aBc", "abC")
for(i in (1:length(C))){
if(length(grep("^[A-Z]",C[i]))>0){
print("Yes") else print("No")
}
}
[1] "Yes"
[1] "No"
[1] "No"
The "grep" expression "[A-Z]" looks for one of A,B,C,...,Z
and the "^" makes it look for it at the start of the string.
Hoping this helps,
Ted.
