    The connect item has now disappeared.

    What you typed however is not the compelling argument that I was hoping for.

    It's not my job to educate you.

    Never said it was. (edit: Ok, I did say I...

    Oh no! I said I was in the minority, I never said I was wrong

    Don't worry about it, I'm probably in the minority here and its not unknown territory for me!

  • RE: String splitter function

    Here's my test version of a function using the technique discussed in Jeffs article that was already mentioned. You'll probably want to really test it out under your required conditions...
