Dear Janek and Harm,
thank you both for very nice solutions! Both are working nicely, of course.
Harm's method seems indeed very flexible and potentially very useful.
Janek's solution has the advantage of allowing a newbie such as myself
freedom of choice regarding the shape of the parentheses, or, I guess, any
pair of characters to be put around the rest (I eventually went with square
brackets).
Thanks very much to both of you again,
Leszek.
