Ah ... I see... That is a clever way to do it. Albeit, as you mentioned, overkill for this scenario; though I could see its usefulness in a longer string to search.
To be honest, though I understand the line now, I don't think I would've ever thought of writing it this way. Pretty creative I have to say \:\)

Thanks for the play by play Richard! Much appreciated!
