I'm trying to interpret a ObjectScript pattern and I am stumped on the first part. I understand everything else but not sure what 1.A means. I know A stands for Alpha characters just not sure what the 1. means

1. is "At Least One of"

1.A is "at least one Case-insensitive Alphabetic character"

Thank you so much. So if I am trying to find a pattern that matches Last Name (Suffix), First Name (Middle Initial) Would it be 1.A.(1" ",1".",1"-",1"'",1A)1","." "1.A.(1" ",1".",1"-",1"'",1A)
