I agree - I only didn't want to bloat the original post further. Here
goes:
original file:
--------------------------------------------------------
some stuff
more lines
string1; string2; string3;
blank line
aslkfdslfkj asdlfjdkf
string1; string2; string4;
bloat
strange
string2; string5;
string4;
--------------------------------------------------------
after first step (done mostly via keep-lines):
--------------------------------------------------------
string1; string2; string3;
string1; string2; string4;
string2; string5;
string4;
--------------------------------------------------------
after second step:
--------------------------------------------------------
string1
string2
string3
string1
string2
string4
string2
string5
string4
--------------------------------------------------------
after final step:
--------------------------------------------------------
3 string2
2 string1
2 string4
1 string3
1 string5
--------------------------------------------------------
I got all of this working (even for substrings) but run into the
problem lined out in my original post when the original file exceeds a
certain number of target strings. The temporary solution posted there
works for bigger files but fails way before possible file lengths I
intend this program for.
The problem lies in step two and for that I used the slightly abridged
(only for function names and doc string - to protect the innocent)
defun I already posted.
TIA
