also, I am afraid that a call like this

>                 yo = sh { echo $3 | sed 's/\)#//' }

is not possible :(.
Although you may call the shell and pass the command to it, I think
you can't get anything easily back, as you want (like you propose by
the assignement 'yo =').

I reckon there is not an easy way how to call another tool (sed,
awk,...) from a grap program and get the result back (other than
through auxiliary files). Correct me someone if I am wrong on this,
please!
That's a pity.

Can't you first run awk on the data and only afterwards run grap on
the distilled result?
