I knew what you were saying, mb, and it made good sense to me. I
use a text editor called BBEdit which has grep search and
replace functions (I understand that there are connections
between it and Perl). As it happens, I enjoy making the patterns
needed and watching them work - no matter that sometimes I spend
more time tooling up for things I could do donkey (Salieri)
fashion!
(In case anyone thinks this admission reduces their liability to
pay me for the work, let me assure them that enjoying one's work
is not generally a ground to discount fees...)
