Marielle, with the GNU tools bin programs and cigwin tools, you can already do so via shell or launch. There's a zillion text manipulation tools out there.
But so far Rev is quite fast even for intricate parsing. Never fast enough tough ;) But a bridge would be welcome to avoid shell calls when they are really necessary. Over the years, i've added quite a few filter types into TAOO to do lots of cleanups, conversions, translations and it's definitely easier in xtalk than any other langage. As soon as i publish the text manager of TAOO, you'll understand. But there's plenty of other resources out there that have these text utilities... Which reminds me i need to rebuild the catalog of calls, handlers, defaults and functions available in TAOO - another nice parsing browser! ;) cheers Xavier > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Richard Gaskin > Sent: Thursday, May 05, 2005 15:16 > To: How to use Revolution > Subject: Re: To Rev or not to Rev > > Marielle Lange wrote: > > I had been poundering on that question before... why not merge > > Revolution with Awk?
