I know that any comparison between programming languages involves personal preference and will ultimately come down to each language's strengths & weaknesses, but I prefer Python (import antigravity).

1. That guy in the XKCD comic swinging in to save the day is AQ fulfilling his elaborate fantasy scenario of the day.
2. Also, for anyone unfamiliar with XKCD, the website has hidden tip strips over every comic that are often the highlight of the comic
3. Darin, cool utility! I took the liberty of adding a while loop and my (way less impressive) specialty of string format specifiers for simplification and came up with a utility that highlights all matches when you click "Test". Attached. (With a rather impressive regex which I cannot claim as my own.)
4. It's exciting to be on the same forums as the legendary CC now. I emerged during your hiatus, so, "It's a pleasure, chilly charly"

Strange. I have no problem running Darin's VI, but yours is broken. If I replace the regex node with the one from the palette, things crash later.

Hmmm.... well, I Saved for Previous Version from a "very recent version" of LabVIEW. Perhaps this has something to do with it. I don't have another version on this computer, so if you want to try out the code it would take you a few minutes to rebuild from my screenshot (I did not touch any other cases from Darin's original code). Sorry, guys.

I think your screenshot was already a not-so-subtle hint as to what you were up to...
