And I (and apparently David) maintain that it's a waste of code
because provided text item delimiters are set, if necessary, every
time immediately before using them, there is no possibility of error.
So, two lines of code--one to save them and one to restore them-- in a
sub routine is more of a waste than setting them to the same thing in
the main body of the code?
If the main body of the code always uses a tab (for instance) as the
text item delimiter, and the sub routine always uses a space (for
instance), and the main body always uses them right after calling the
sub routine, it is more of a waste of code to set them a dozen times
than to save and reset them once.
