the intention of this snippet is to only print slices where
character 1 is lower case, 2-4 and 6-8 are upper. The logic here
looks right to a VB eye.
Here's the code...

Any help much appreciated!
Your slice indexes are off:
>>> m = "01234567"
>>> m[0]
'0'
>>> m[1:3]
'12'
>>> m[5:7]
'56'
>>>
What you want is:
>>> m[2:4]
'23'
>>> m[6:8]
'67'
