I have been reading your posts, it would appear you've created a patterned matching UDF based on perl's pattern matching. I didn't want to use a UDF because I'm the main person who knows kix and would be the only person capable of understanding the concepts. Most of our other scripts are in perl, which just about everyone in my dept knows. We don't use perl for the logon script because we add new features regularly, not every pc has perl so on and on...
I was trying to keep the kix scripts as simple as possible to allow anyone who looks at it to understand. The rest of the knuckleheads seem to be fearful of kix, therefore I became primary. Because of their fears I have to keep things as simple as possible, incase I'm gone and someone needs to make changes.
