Hello George,
On Monday, August 11, 2003 at 11:32 GMT +0300, a stampede was started
when George M. Menegakis [GMM] hollered:

You'll need to use a recursive template. These are much easier in the
current beta series (1.63b8 or later). Since you appear to be using
the current beta, you can try the following engine.
Note: This template will ***NOT*** work in versions 1.63b7 or lower.

Notes:
1. This template can be used alone to modify clipboard
contents or can be used as an engine by assigning text to
the variable, %_RQ_Text, in the driver template.
'%-
%-
%IF:'%_RQ_FirstTime'='':'%-
%___%IF:"%_RQ_Text"="":"%_RQ_Text(%Clipboard)"%-
%___%_RQ_FirstTime="No"'%-
%-
%IF:'%_RQ_Text'<>'':'%-
%-
%SetPattRegexp="(?is-m)^(.*?)(\n(.*)|)\z"%-
%RegexpBlindMatch(%_RQ_Text)%-
%-
%_RQ_Line_1(%Subpatt(1))%-
%_RQ_Remainder_Of_Text(%Subpatt(3))%-
%-
%If:"%-
%____%SetPattRegexp=!^\s*$!%-
%____%RegexpMatch=!%_RQ_Line_1 !"<>"":"%-
%____> "%_RQ_Line_1
%-
%_RQ_Text(%_RQ_Remainder_of_Text)%-
%-
%QInclude(ReQuote)'%-
=====[ End ReQuote QT]=====
So your main template would need something like:
=====[Begin Template Extract]=====
%_RQ_Text(%Quotes)%-
%QInclude(ReQuote)%-
=====[ End Template Extract]=====

Thanks for writing,
