It seems we just need to extract the text between the table name and the first blank line below it. this should pretty easy with either awk or sed. As for efficiency, the db files I have access to are sufficiently small that the script should work in practise, especially used only for debugging. Do you have a very large DB file or a different use case? _______________________________________________ dev mailing list dev@openvswitch.org http://openvswitch.org/mailman/listinfo/dev
