Issue fixed. With one line of code:

Code:
gsub(vdefTagIn "[^" vdefTagOut "]*" vdefTagOut, vdefSep)

where the tags were defined as '<sense' and '>'. No more need for 2079 loops of madness.


Anyways, nothing was wasted; all the ideas posted will help in future scripting. Smilie

As of now, I will be working on merging some gsub commands with regex tricks.

Oh-and about the braces, when I removed certain ones the program would not operate correctly; it would scatter text and such. I just added a brace between the beginning of the program (after the variables) and before { print $0 }, and I was able to remove all the other braces! Smilie


If anyone is interested:

latin:
Code:
#!/bin/mksh

# This program requires an xml dictionary file to run. If it is not on your machine,
# this program will automatically download it and store in ~/.config/latin/.

# Name this file as 'latin' and run:
#
# $ chmod +x latin
#
# To run:
# $ ./latin amo
#
# To enable internet auto-decline:
# $ ./latin -d amo
#
# To run with only auto-decline:
# $ ./latin -c amo
#
# Where 'amo' is the term searched.
