Yep, I looked at that. I also considered 'lifting' the parser from Bash rather than writing my own, seemed daft to write my own parser when there was already a perfectly good one there. Unfortunately I found that it was not so easy to extract it as a separate entity, it is integrated into the whole product. Someone like Chet Ramey could probably do it, not me. As for the pain, this is working out to be almost as good as whipping myself with nettles - Ahhhhh. (No nettles were harmed in the writing of this post).
