Hi JB
So what I read from your message, appreciated as it is, that basically, you
hijacked my thread for your own intents and purposes of educating people
about things loosely related to my question but without actually answering
said question and without changing the subject to one that better suits
your purposes, maybe 'OT: C++ background to Find Replace in Script Editor'
. Thanks for your explanation of what you were trying to do. Perhaps next
time, (as the post may well be helpful to those inclined to want the extra
in depth, beyond the OP, educating) you could indeed change the subject
heading to note that you are going OT into other expanded territory. Does
that sound fair?

What you have done is make it harder for people actually trying to find the
answer to my OP or similar (as hard as that may be to believe) that much
harder to come across as they read through yours and others' dross! Do you
not see that? Can none of you see that? Bob, surely you can see it? My
textual 'abuse' comes as the result of prodding to the point of utter
provocation and MUST be seen as such. Had the answer been left to those who
KNOW and can directly and succinctly answer the question, this thread would
be a tiny gem of proper information, rather than the cesspool of
irrelevance (and abuse from both sides) it has become. Disappointed, I am!
