A little hacking and the posts in my archive are online again for the first time in years (some going all the way back to y2k!).

@jjg Goodness. Your stuff looks like my stuff for ad hoc converting stuff! :-)

output = output + something
output = ...

lots of sed too ;-)

mine also has plenty of
this = re.compile('that')
as well.

@gemlog yea, it’s definitely “git er done” mode :)

@jjg stil pays to put *some* comments and structure though.
I have cobwebs in /home/gemlog/bin going back decades that I sometimes mine for lazy code.

@jjg As it happens i need to convert a random format that I've cleaned up a bit already with sed. I was trying to think of something similar... until just NOW! talking to you! :-) i knew I'd done something very nearly like it before to save time...

Someone wanted to reprint a book and only had an orphaned file format of the original. Quick money.
