Yeah, most definitely -- and just the functionality and "user-friendliness" of it. I was, like, okay I get it, I select a bit of code, create a "match," and then say how I want that match to behave -- and right there, I'm clueless! Even the help files don't seem to be of much help. All I can think is that surely there HAS to be an easier, more sensible way for them to do a program like this.

Did you work through the examples? The browser demos, here: https://www.regexmagic.com/demo.html ? They put the files in, in the Help file under RM Examples, Patterns, Integer?

No, not yet -- I saw mention of those but didn't try them. I'll check that link you gave here.

Also: if you really CANNOT get it, they have a 90-day money back guarantee.

That's definitely an option I was seriously considering (no poop)!

Have you gotten RM now? I think when this first came up, you'd only been using RB before (for years). I got RM, under the assumption that it would be easier -- just looking at the videos for RB looked like it was rather complex to use. I really don't know, though.

If you've tried both now, do you think for my/our purposes perhaps RB would be better (and easier to use)?

I hate stupid programs like this. Like I said, it's hard for me to believe that they couldn't make this much, much easier and straightforward to use than they have. :/
