what do you mean by "reformatting"?
I copied this from a TXT file and "pasted unformatted" into my field.
Still -> execution error
I suspect this is a permission thing, maybe I need to grant LC, and my later app,
permissions in the macOS Settings panel.
So the, little more complex, solution Trevor proposed suddenly looks a lot more appealing! :-D
