I fully support the idea of checking out a couple of functions a day especially with a ‘what could this do for me in my work?’ question always on mind. It worked for me.

It is especially powerful to do this when faced with a new challenge – don’t just work to a narrow solution, take the opportunity to seek a wider view embracing any functions that sound potentially useful.

Finally a comment about the nuances in many of the functions. I agree that TextLine is a terrifically useful function and used it from the day of its introduction. However when the second mode of use (Search) became available I missed it entirely for some time and so missed some simple solutions (and enhancements to what could be offered as extractions) by not being completely familiar with what was available.

As written up in the help the mode differences are simply factual. Recognising what they offer in practice was a huge gain. So be sure that to really absorb what information is available and then consider how it might be made useful to deliver most efficiently and successfully against tasks.

HTH.
