in reply to Re^9: substring selection from a string on certain qualifying conditions
in thread substring selection from a string on certain qualifying conditions

That example was addressed in the OP. Again, the deviation from the OP is why I asked my question.

So if I come up with a solution and post it, I'm repeating, and if I don't post it, I'm dumb?

Simple, I didn't take kindly to the demeaning of the OP's effort :)

    I didn't take kindly to your attempt to demean the OP's effort

    So, in your mind, my taking the time to work out and post a (the only) working solution to the OPs problem, is "demeaning his effort"?

    I think not sunshine.

    You were blatantly getting defensive over some perceived but non-existent slight against yourself.

    Are we done yet?

      Fallacy. That's not to what I was referring and you know it. :)
