This might be something that can be done inside reformat_dat_files.pl. It's a little outside it's scope, but better than the alternatives.

I'll volunteer to look into it but I don't know when that will be. -- John Naylor https://www.2ndQuadrant.com/ PostgreSQL Development, 24x7 Support, Remote DBA, Training & Services
