Well, in my ignorance (before Sean's hints) I believed such a thing 
existed. Nice to see that even this new millennium has its mythical 
beasts, though :-D

Ouch, really too much effort for a supposedly small project aimed at 
automating some boring manual process. Moreover, as I get it, those are 
*nix tools, whereas I'm on Windows (7). Maybe there is a Windows port, 
but this hunting for tools is beginning to appear a time-sucker, which I 
don't wont to fall into. I'd never get that time back from the script I 
intended to create and in itself is not even a very fun project.

Thanks for the info, anyway. Always good to have nice pointers.

Cheers!
