Thanks Kerry and Jean - they look great. I will try both in real-world
cases soon and come back if there are major problems I can't solve (likely

The regex will be used for text files with max about 100 lines - so a
visual check afterwards is possible and in any case high;y advised.
Thanks a gain
Rainer
