Basically, like 99.99% of ASers he understands the language up to a point, which is enough to produce a script that usually/mostly works, then beyond that point he has a lookup table of magical incantations to apply iteratively to the bits that don't until they do: "1. try wrapping in parentheses and see if it works now", "2. try adding a `my` prefix and see if it works now", "3. try adding a `get` prefix…", and so on.

lol, that’s exactly what I do most of the time!!!

Cheers
Dave
