..I did not.  It's funny, I'm a perl guy, and in that language "=" is 
never used for comparison, so my brain may have just been 
ignoring =~ there, as "=" works for everything but regex and glob.

I did try =~ in some of my examples, but again, in perl =~ /foo/ is all 
you need to declare a regex, you don't need the actual regexp() operator.

The other thing I was missing was the magic of the "." operator.  You can 
see I was trying to use "value()".

I might have got this now.  Thanks.

Best,
