My comments were not meant as a criticism. As I said it's good to see alternatives, but I found some of the code a bit difficult to follow. Also, I appreciate that the library I was using was a simplified version, but it's easy to understand and so I coded in that first. When I've got the extended version working properly (Numeric Entry Into A grid Of textboxes), I'll try some of the other libraries. The thing I liked about my code (which was an amalgamation of other people's code) is that it is short and can be used in another program without having too large an overhead.UEZ wrote:RNBW wrote:UEZ
I just wanted to show a different approach (PCRE) for the same "challenge" and that's the reason why I used same GUI and some functions from WinGUI.bi.
I know it is very hard to learn regular expression but it can a mighty tool to have a simpler solution especially with string manipulation.
Counting lines with includes at the top makes not really sense as they are not visible.
Thank you again for your code. I've saved it and may come back to it again in the future.
