I'm ever again astonished by these string format specifiers ! So compact and powerful ! So easy... once the code works ! And at the same time so incomprehensible unless you are very familiar with them !Get File Extension.vi (Functions palette >> File I/O >> Advanced File Functions) with its \.[~\.]*$ format specifier is a good example.

Yes, but I was always one of those who go with the feeling that languages like Perl look like an explosion in an ASCII factory. Having to decipher those hiroglyphics is not that much fun.
