Hi Gregory,

Thanks for the feedback:)

>VBScript.RegExp is part of windows IE - I trust it to remain in the long run and I've been using it since XP

You can certainly call me an old dog! But I dislike the idea of a dependency on IE.

I understand that IE may ,in some or even in full sense, be "WINDOWS". But as much as I am in the process of discarding MS-office COM dependencies - Yep that would not work on Mac Intoshes or MS-Office free workstations and I try to support both of them:(, I try to avoid getting out of VERY plain-vanilla windows.

Possibly a third-party commercial registrable, COM object would fit the bill but I can't find any. I have no issue with regexes. Not used them recently but was a novice perl hacker and decent python one for a while during my green years during the 90s. Should be able to get back to speed, should there need be:)
