This is verry pretty.
I will have to figure out what it does exactly.

Maybe not, but i must admit that a few month's ago when i
first met MacPerl i was very impressed by the simplicity 
of some scripts that did things that might have taken hours
to do by hand. As I am with this one-liner.

I think the key question here was for scripts (filters) that run within
the editor of choice.

I have another filter that takes a Excell export and creates 
html-pages for everyone of the selected lines in the BBEdit window,
but then that could probably be done in two lines as well :-) 

If i should post this as a demo i would have to make up a fake database,
so maybe someone else has this kind of thing lying around?
That would certainly be suitable to demonstrate a little MacPerl?

I guess you deserve the title

Kind regards, Tommy.
