Anyone any good at regexp?

[suityou01]

Why don't you just teach them how to use Outlook rules...

[mudskipper]

Am I missing something?

How will Nick's solution parse this

Thisisalargestring: And here is some data up until the next space character Thisisanotherlargestring: And here is some more data

Some regxp that turns that lot into

Group1[And here is some data up until the next space character]
Group2[And here is some more data]

And this

And then clientco say oh, suity we want to retrieve this piece of data and it looks like :

*12345*

suityDict

I think so too.

And this

It won't

[mudskipper]

It won't

So how is it then deemed to be the magic solution that the rest of us were too thick to come up with?

Because Nick's solution is understood, Nick didn't need to pander to my every whim. I can extend Nick's solution to include *12345* as I have a brain.

I fear I never did (and still don't) understand your requirement.

However, you're happy with what you've got so all is good.

I am elated. Nick da man.

Thanks for your help.

Hang on, all is not quite good ..

I think we're both owed six pints too, for querying and clarifying the requirements!

(or at least three pints)
