<snip a bunch of examples> OK, I think you have your work cut out for you :-) I still think my basic approach can work but the output handler is going to have to keep track of a fair amount of stuff as it gets parse events. The good news is you can build it up a line at a time - start with a program that converts the first line correctly, then make it two lines, etc. > I wont lie, I found your "simple" example a bit mind blowing, maybe I > need to work through some more tutorials lol. Still plugging away, > thanks so much for helping this novice out. Yes, it uses a lot of...hmm...at least novice-level concepts - cooperating classes, regular expressions and first-class functions, for a few. You said you have read a couple of books and you seemed at least comfortable with the idea that you might need classes and regular expressions so I didn't explain it much. Feel free to ask questions about the parts you don't understand. I wonder if maybe you need to write some code? You talk about *reading* but you haven't mentioned *writing*. You can't learn to program without writing programs - that would be like learning to write a foreign language by reading books in the language - it helps but it won't get you there! So if you have just been reading, I suggest you try writing a few small programs as warmups. Good luck!
