OK, I believe I have identified part of the issue why it wasn't working as expected.
After using the suffix format "_Species_Name" I found it became cluttered, so tweaked it to _(Species_Names) which improved readability.
I also used the same technique to append the Location before the species name using "_(Location). Again it worked well, but didn't provide enough separation from "_Species_Name" so I decided to change the type of brackets fro Curved () to Square [], and that is when it all went wrong!
It looks like you can have a multitude of curved brackets, but as soon as you add a square bracket, no further additions will work!
Valid
_(Species_Names) _(Species_Names) _(Species_Names) _(Species_Names)
_(Species_Names)_[Location]
_[Location]
Not Valid
_[Location]_(Species_Names)
_[Location]_[Location]
Obviously, you wouldn't have two locations, but it does illustrate the issue of bracket type, thus limiting the methods usefulness
Also You can use Curly bracket {} but I can't tell the difference between curved. You can not use greater or less than <> either.
I assume this is down to the way Powershell works?
Maybe an AHK driven interface is the way to go in the long run, to make the whole thing faster and easier to configure for different uses using "profiles". Unfortunately I lack those skills
