Thanks Bill,
That looks like the right tool for the job at hand. Looking at setting
up the configuration file, a stumbling block in my learning to program
is my lack of a good understanding of regular expressions. I have
started studying grep, sed and awk. It is a lot more fun to just write
little python programs and watch in amazement when they work as
expected. I have been avoiding this phase of learning.
