Oh, almost there...
This is what L3P produces:
#declare _40_MyAn_dot_dat = union {
// "MyAn" - (MyAn)
// Name: @MyAn.dat
// Author: Tore Eriksson
// LDraw Animation Master File
// Frame 000
object { _40_myan000_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
// STEP
#if (clock > 1)
// Frame 001
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan001_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock > 2)
// Frame 002
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan002_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock > 3)
// Frame 003
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan003_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock > 4)
#end // if clock
}
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
And this is how I wish the output looked like:
#declare _40_MyAn_dot_dat = union {
// "MyAn" - (MyAn)
// Name: @MyAn.dat
// Author: Tore Eriksson
// LDraw Animation Master File
#if (clock = 0)
// Frame 000
object { _40_myan000_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
// STEP
#end
#if (clock = 1)
// Frame 001
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan001_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock = 2)
// Frame 002
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan002_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
#if (clock = 3)
// Frame 003
// CLEAR
object { _40_myan003_dot_dat matrix <1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,0,0> }
#end
// STEP
}

The only problem is that L3P superimposes the new frame on old ones instead of
showing just the new.
Lars, is there any way we can work this out??? :)))

Yep, I've encountered this before and "solved" it the same way.
LPUB will render this correctly, however. Place a CLEAR statement at the
beginning of each step, then load the master file in LPUB and ask it to generate
instruction steps without parts or bill of materials. This will create a
sequence of files, each containing one step of your animation.
You can also use the buffer exchange matecommand with LPUB to your advantage
when doing animations. Although in that case it is highly recommended that you
set the "graying" of parts from previous steps off.
OK, gotta run now. But if this isn't clear enough, please let me know. In any
event, there are other LPUB experts in this forum.

---------------------------------------------------
Yes, that is quite a good solution. It misses frame #000, but that is easily
done by hand. Or, anybody familiar with JavaScript or VBS could make your
suggested Search&Replace combined with
Search: "// Frame 000"
Replaceby: "#if (clock = 0)&13&10// Frame 000"
(Of course, with that language's syntax instead...)
Oh, and there needs to be an "#end" inserted before next "// STEP" statement.
Well, well...
