That works great! I didn't know that the "space greater than" excluded whitespace, so I learned something new! THANKS!

    "space greater than" does not exclude whitespace.

    If you use character classes (which is the thing inside [ ... ]) you exlude the characters mentioned in the character class if the first character after the [ is a ^. It sort of negates the list within the square brackets or includes all characters not in the list.
