You are right: I don't really need, but I do really want... ;-) More precisely: I have an elisp fun what does what I need, but not exactly in the way I could really like. So I asked here if it is possible to do in some better way or not. From (lack of) early answers it seems: not nice way exists :-( > It seems much easier and "logical" to solve this problem - since > it's a command-line script that will do some text processing - with > Ruby, Python or Perl. Yes. Usually. But can exist cases when this would be part of a bigger "system" what is "logical to implement" in elisp... Why mix it up with other languages if not really needed?
