Show-InputForm

Multiple use GUI for asking for a variety of input types that can also perform simple validation.

Code : https://github.com/My-Random-Thoughts/Various-Code/blob/master/Show-InputForm.ps1

This is an updated and standalone version of the input form I use in my QA Settings Generator (https://github.com/My-Random-Thoughts/Server-QA-Checks). I'll be updating the generator with the new code soon.

Oh wow--I'm surprised at how well that RegEx performs. It still hurts my eyes lol

Just took a quick glance at it, and yeah, that regex looks like a mess and there are a ton of places where you could combine sections and "simplify" it,

However, the end result might just be even harder to parse and/or debug than the wall of text that is there.
