Thanks for the suggestion. But it made a horrible hash of a sample data set :-(

I've found there's another issue... not every query result necessarily contains all of the attributes. There are items in some results that are not in others.

I'm trying to think of a way to harvest all possible attributes in each set of returns, and then inject each result into an array or something and include a null value for any missing attributes. There is a finite set of possible attributes, and I could pre-build them into my script, but creating that dynamically is a better long-term solution in case attributes are added or removed in the future.

cxref-query

cxref-query(1)						      General Commands Manual						    cxref-query(1)

NAME

       cxref-query - A program to query the cross reference database from cxref.

SYNOPSIS

       cxref-query [name  [  ...  name]] [-Odirname] [-Nbasename] [-xref[-all][-file][-func][-var][-type]]

DESCRIPTION

       A  very simple program to query the cross-reference database that is created by the cxref program. This is intended to be an example of the
       information that is in the database and how to use it rather than a fully featured tool.

OPTIONS

       name   Names of objects to query.  The names that it looks up are the names of: Files, Variables, Functions, Typedefs

	      If there are no names on the command line then the program enters interactive mode and prompts for names until an end of	file  (^D)
	      is seen.

       -Odirname
	      Use dirname as the input directory

       -Nbasename
	      Use basename.* as the input filenames

       -xref  Produce cross referencing information (see below).
	       -all    All cross references.
	       -file   Cross references for files.
	       -func   Cross references for functions.
	       -var    Cross references for variables.
	       -type   Cross references for types.

       The output depends on the -xref options but basically gives what is seen in the section of the document for the named object.

BUGS

       If  you	wish to submit bug reports or other comments about the program then email the author amb@gedanken.demon.co.uk and put cxref in the
       subject line.
