Does it also have an "OK" button to cancel your subscription, and a "Cancel" button to cancel the cancelation? Laugh | :laugh:

I like how your user name illustrates the fact that we are all just numbers in a government spreadsheet!

The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

I am curious why that particular enterprise required drones to go above 400 ft.

I had the joy to take my first steps with Regular Expressions today (I have tried to avoid them, but I eventually got that they are absolutely inavoidable, especially when it comes to parsing complex strings).
So I present you my first RegEx:

([0-9]{4})-([1-9]|[1][0-2])-([0-2]?[0-9]|[3][0-1])[T]([0-1]?[0-9]|[2][0-3])[:]([0-5]?[0-9])[:]([0-5]?[0-9])?.?([0-9]{1,6})[Z]([+-][0-9][\.|,]?[0-9]?|[0-9]{2}?|[+-]?[0][1][0-2][\.]?[0-9]?|[0-9]{2}?)

Beautiful, isn't she? Blush | :O

And that's the string it will parse: 2014-2-5T21:36:14.315Z+1.5

Well done!

Get a copy of this: Expresso[^] - it's free, and it explains, tests and helps create regexes. I use it all the time and I wish I'd written it!

Just tried it out - And I hand-crafted my RegEx! Well, learning it from scratch has never caused any damage.

The site OriginalGiff mentioned is very good. Another very helpful site is regexlib[^]; they have a large library of Regular Expressions. They also have a RegEx tester[^].

Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Good little tool, isn't it?
I was going to write one myself, but when I found this...

I endorse that. Expresso is a very good regex utility.

If there is one thing more dangerous than getting between a bear and her cubs it's getting between my wife and her chocolate.

Strange...I downloaded it here and ran a scan on the MSI and it showed nothing.
So I uploaded it to Dropbox: https://www.dropbox.com/s/3fwe3wtop741hpf/ExpressoSetup3.msi[^] - does that help?

gack!

i suppose it's a right of passage everyone has to go through. but whew Smile | :)

me, i avoid regex like the plague. finite state machines are so much easier to understand and maintain.
