hi christian.brandt awk is processing its input line by line. Its script applies to one line and with the next line of input the previous one is forgotten -- or I have to program a script which read the input twice: First run to determine the correct alignment spaces, second run to apply those -- and this will become more of a hack due to the nature of awks processing the input. But as mentioned I want to 'use' a tool, not to program one. I think, the best will be to hack one in C -- this will run by far faster then the script processing done by awk. Thanks for your help. Keep hacking! mcc -- Please don't send me any Word- or Powerpoint-Attachments unless it's absolutely neccessary. - Send simply Text.
