A question I dare not ask on Stackoverflow

You can use my StringParser[^] to do exactly this.

Holy sh!t What would your comment have been if it had been a new member?
It does not solve my Problem, but it answers my question Chemists have exactly one rule: there are only exceptions
I'm guessing the same.
"the debugger doesn't tell me anything because this code compiles just fine" - random QA comment "Facebook is where you tell lies to your friends. Twitter is where you tell the truth to strangers." - chriselst "I don't drink any more... then again, I don't drink any less." - Mike Mullikins uncle

Nice work. Hadn't seen that before. An easy 5 from me! :thumbsup:

This could have been a rant, but it's a question that I am serious about getting an answer for rather than multiple downvotes from Stackoverflowers who have too much free time and way too much bile: I love noir fiction for the use of similes (and metaphors, but they lack useful key phrases for this exercise). I want to create a script of some kind to scan through a text corpus and pull out the words in a sentence which follow the word "like" to the end of the sentence. Or "as if". I haven't used grep, sed and awk for many years now but memory tells me that's the fast way to write this little script. Am I totally on the wrong track? It's a newbie's question for sure, which is why I won't take it to SO. :~

I wouldn't ask a question there either as the one time I did I got told it was a stupid idea, yet here we are doing both of those things all the time. It was how to upload files to a web-site before frameworks handled this. I also don't answer questions there because someone will always come along and downvote it, even if it answers the question perfectly.

Next time please use the Quick Answers[^] or the specific forum from the Discussion Boards[^]
M.D.V. ;) If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about? Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.
