Hi again, Here is a second proposal to complete the previous one: this patch allows the use of $x or @x identifiers ($1 ... $n and $#, etc) during the preprocessing (in addition of kernel_v pattern, etc). Again, I originally have written this for a colleague and found this useful. So again: > That's why I send it to this list, but just forget this mail if you don't like it ;-) Thanks -- Pierre Peiffer
