Hello Björnke,
That is an awesome idea, well worth pursuing...

>normally, csv is a pain in the ass, but Rev tokens trump that ;)

I sure can't argue that point. 

Most of what I do with Rev involves processing text of some sort and when considering the simplicity of Rev, I have yet to find anything that even comes close to it for parsing text. I've found that my own lack of knowledge and understanding are the weak links around here. ;)

Thank you so much for the help,
