My pleasure, thanks. Certainly has been for me. In a way it _is_ ideal. It's just there had to be quite some workarounds and hacks that seemed unavoidable. That is, compared to other awk code i have been writing. Nevertheless, scripting, and having context information available for this task is something really worth to try! > The README could certainly be shortened and clarified. Yah, no doubt, you're right. I had much trouble to explain what it is, what it can be used for in a way that doesn't seem totally trivial. I know i failed. Maybe i'm just paranoid or bad at explaining. Care to give me a hint? What's been useful, what would you keep? There's some cleanup and polishing left to do, and i intend to focus on that for a while. And i think i need suggestions to get that right, so thank you again, kind regards - Robert Figura
