Has anyone coded some kind of utility which performs something similar to the following: Input: text file with list of set numbers Output: text file with set number, set name, number of pieces, and retail price I suppose the output would be delimited using commas or tabs or something. I would love something like this (I don't really need *all* the parts, but I'd prefer to at least have the number of pieces) to aid in inventorying my LEGO collection. Thanks, --Bram

(...) Huh. I don't know of such a thing, but it wouldn't be very hard to make. Perhaps if I'm bored while on vacation... :) (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) Here's a q&d pseudo-grep, if that helps... #!/bin/sh cat /home/username/lego/...number.txt \| \ perl -e 'my %x = map {(split(/\t/,$_,2))[0], $_} grep {/^\d.\t/} <STDIN>; print join "", map {$x{$_}} @ARGV;' $ --Todd (25 years ago, 14-Jan-00, to lugnet.general, lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I wrote such a script. However, it is really ugly: it's mostly Tcl but it calls perl to do the DB query. It should be all perl (it would be much easier/shorter/quicker) but it grew out of something else I was playing with in Tcl.
