You must be in your 60s or 70s (or older) if you think you were around before the term regex was created. The term regex (REGular EXpression) has been around at least since the 80s if not earlier. It is a way to search for, well, a regular expression. There are several resources for regex

The normal process payment function only splits for the invoices/bills selected. So if you are paying one invoice, you get one payment split and one AR/AP split. If you are paying multiple invoices, you'll still only have one payment split, but one AR/AP split for each invoice/bill. If
