Thanks Mark. I'll look at this.
And, while I don't doubt this has provided good results, may I ask why
you use it instead of a matchText? You didn't indicate if you had done
some form of speed test, or in fact ever compared the two alternatives.
I'm just trying to get a sense of the value of matchText in terms of
speed, or if it is a convenience for those more comfortable with
regular expression syntax (which I can use... but I FIGHT with them
every time.)
