hmm ... i was a bit afraid that sed would be the better way of doing
that -- i'm using AWK because i want to be able to process each line of
input and take
STRING "QUoted String"
and produce
{ { STRING }, "Quoted String },
on stdout as output.
and then have it do something at the beginning and end (which would
probably just work with cat, i suppose :-)
thanks!
marc.
