Challenge #53: Parsing Report Formatted Data

I used regex tokenizer to row, so it will work regardless the number of columns or rows.

Here is a test with an added column and row.  As you can see the Equal Test complains because there is a new field and one more row than expected, so it works as promised.

No need for any complicated macros or apps.  I believe this is fully dynamic without them.

Solution attached.  No macros here, but this should still work dynamically I believe.
