There is an indent program, is there? Good . I'll go after it.
Thanks very much for the effort in the above example..... It's a pity
I'm illiterate in C. I'll try it. The max line lingth I see. Where do I
set the indent?
A bit of reading on awk and sed were illuminating.
The sed info page vies for the longest entry without telling you
anything with the awk one, which is the verbose and confusing manual in
disguise, full of chapters like "What you don't want to know about ...."
It seems I'm limited to Posix regular expressions, whereas I found perl
ones better to play with.
Mind you I did manage to remove all my control fields with a single
's///g' expression, which cheered me up. Awk looks the business, but the
guy never follows a thread - he jumps all over the place.
