<p>Another idea I have just had and am looking into, is a PARSE
stage -- let's use the power of Rexx! A couple of ideas. Very
early thinking right now.<br>
</p>
<ul>
<li>Its string argument would be a parse template with variables
named $1 up to $9, with each of these put out on a separate
output stream.</li>
<li>Or if there is a second string, it would be just the primary
output. The second string that would be the output template,
with $variables. This stage would be a "SPEC substitute"-type
stage. I think this would be a cleaner, more Rexxian, interface
than SPEC has.</li>
</ul>
<p>It might look like</p>
<p><tt>parse /. $1 . =45 $2 +7/ /'The second word is' $1 'and the
value is' $2'.'/</tt></p>
<p>Maybe the quote marks will prove to not be necessary.</p>
<p>Comments, ideas, criticisms, are all requested.</p>
