Sure, that's what I'd need to do, convert each instance to items.  I was 
bemoaning the sheer number of times it would have been necessary in just one

Think of all the swapping you'd have to do within a single repeat loop just to 
pull out chunks composed of different types of characters. A date followed by a 
currency followed by a quoted string for example.
