I am sorry for the non-working links - they seemed to work OK from here, but
I'll check again tomorrow, as I can't fix them from where I am
As for what the program does, the answer is yes, it can do both things at once,
and more, as it is a library you can use to write programs that edit Ldraw
files.
There's a script called lsed.pl in the module distribution that provides some
examples. It works like this:
lsed.pl "%color = 4 if %y > 16"
colors red all bricks with y position above 16 while
lsed.pl "%y += 16 if %color = 4"
raises all red bricks by 16 LDUs. You could also do
lsed.pl "%color = 4 if %description =~ /wind/i"
to make red anything with a description containing "wind".
I have used it also to writ a script to position bricks as a guide to create a
spline for animation, and then remove them from the Ldraw file.
All in all, it seems to have evolved into some kind of macro language for Ldraw.
Let me know if you want to know more,
Simone
