Hi :) Thanks for the answer. I think the question was beyond the scope of the Users List and i don't know if anyone got around to pointing the person to the devs lists.
Err, was there a slight typo in the last paragraph? Seems like grep got typed as grok? "which you can grok for user-visible strings" Perhaps would have been more generic as "look for"?
