The source data's generally one record per line with all sorts of different 
formats from all sorts of systems -- XML, JSON, CSV, logfiles, uncle Tom 
Cobbley...   Most of the time the data has loads of fields (columns?) which 
I'm trying to extract a few.

Generally the task is to extract the ROWS from the text (e.g. matching 
certain criteria),  then extract the COLUMNS from that.  As I said,  this 
could be XML,  JSON,  etc.  Made worse by inconsistencies where sometimes 
field data is in different orders,  hence the need for named captures.

I also appreciate that this might not be the tool for the job.   Pity as 
BBEdit is quite addictive!


Thanks.
