Nice! Thanks for making this available.

Looks great, is this under any specific licence?

You are most welcome @davidkhess.

Sorry @jameswilddev, for some reason GitHub didn't notify on your message. The code is public domain so feel free to do with it as you please. :-)

Just helped me a lot to solve an issue.
I'll post this link under my solution.
