*testing, testing* CRAP! After fixing some problems with this patch (it doesn't work for a number of reasons, so don't waste your time trying) I have realized that sed is not the correct tool for this pipe. It is best written in some other language. Which languages can I select from? awk? More context than one row plus one hold buffer is needed to determine if a symbol is global... (Symbols marked SECTn in the above snippet should be mapped to the nth section line) Cheers, Peter
