[Chugalug] gedit vs geany

[rdflowers]

Yes, the .bla is sort of an id -- it is the ancestor number of that  
ancestoris my personal demented numbering system.

However, it has to this point been created and maintained totally by  
hand. When I find more than one theory of someone's parentage, I  
generally keep both. I can't give the alternate theories just any  
number because they might look arbitrary, but they are not.

I haven't yet, but I will look at the code you so kindly sent, in  
order to learn from it.

By ceaseless experimentation, I got as far as the following ( as an  
interim learning exercise ). It chops the line into pieces enough to  
give me the first fnumber in an '((' group.I'm sure it is not the best  
-- simplest -- regex to do that, so don't laugh too hard.

#!/usr/bin/perl

# print all the lines that contain '(('

while (<>) {
  if (       
m#(\(\()([^(0-9a-kLm-v)]*)([0-9a-kLm-v]+[w-z]+[@^]?)([^\)]*)(\)+?)(.*)(\/.*\/)(.*)#    
)
   {  print "1:",$1," 2:",$2," 3:",$3," 4:",$4," 5:",$5," 6:",$6,"  
7:",$7," 8:",$8,"   LINE:",$_ ;
   }
}
