Re: [netrexx-pipelines] Fun with stream I/O, Address, Java.nio.

Hello Leslie!

First -- I have to confess, the 'csvcln' stage I showed recently
is an example from VM/CMS running on codepage 273, not tested with
double-byte characters. The goal was, get rid of all superfluous
extras to make CSV tables comparable, whatever provenience. Thus
my suggestion of masking word separators might not work with
today's UTF-8 or -16 content.

Next -- following remarks are neither NetRexx- nor Java-specific.

Your succession of change stages makes me shiver ...

>       change /\n"/ /\n“/  |
>       change / "/  / “/   |
>       change /"\n/ /”\n/  |

... because it uses arguments which /could/ be subject of
interpretation by a "funny" editor or other "helpful" tools I
don't know. You may consider my suggestion as paranoid to use only
hex values as arguments for Change (I didn't so in my csvcln, but
that was for a rather stable OS).

The variable execOption is very close to execOptions what is
pretty confusion prone. (BTW, there is a programming language
which allows looong variable names but the compiler utilizes the
first eight letters only.)
I'm not sure, the first When condition, could there be a little
's' too much?

Best,
