Testing for speed, I found that my July 29 function--the one that uses lineDelimiter and itemDelimiter--is thwarted when two parens appear as consecutive characters, and gives the wrong answer in that case. Sorry about that. I may not have correctly implemented Peter Haworth's Regex string,

Re: Finding matched parentheses

Hmmm. I read the original post as finding the "closing parenthesis ... of a pair" "Any pair?" This seems to indicate that all nested parens have to be parsed as a whole. If you want to find a particular related couple, you have to use the correct ordered pair derived from the function.
