How can I store the position of the first numeric character of a string?

Example:

$NomeEstacao = "Atendimento05" # posição 11 (carácter 0)
$NomeEstacao = "Direcao46" # posição 7 (carácter 4)

I tried to use $a.IndexOf("\d"). to find the position but without success.

You can do the following:

$NomeEstacao = "Atendimento05" 
if ($NomeEstacao  -match "(?<digito>\d)") {
    $pos = $NomeEstacao.IndexOf($Matches.digito)
    Write-Host $pos
}

The -match looks for the first digit in string and then the .IndexOf(...) returns the position of the digit. You also have the bonus if you want to know which was the first digit found.
