Thank you for the code and extended explanation. It works very well,
but I am still some way off understanding it in any kind of detail. At
the moment I'm working through the man page. To that end I wrote the
following:
@(collect)
@(some)
a b c @FOO
@(end)
@(end)
@(output)
@FOO
@(end)
foo.dat:
a b c defghijk
but when I invoke it as txr foo.txt foo.dat I get no output, so clearly
I'm missing something.
