Congrats, Rich!

If you would not suggest it, I would :) Too bad for me, I found this thread too late :) I learned this trick about 2 years ago. Also Cetin Basoz sent me his fll for parsing strings, which doesn't have array limitation (65000 elements).

I'll try to find this thread for the reference.
