GnuPG comes to mind as an example of how to intelligently handle output *without* the need for calling external programs. By default it gives you human readable output, but with an optional command line switch it gives you colon delimited output that is consistent from version to version. That way you can have all sorts of useful stuff being done with its output. I use it to get this: http://trilug.org/~chrish/keyanalyze.php (which would not be practical with human readable output from GnuPG). > I'll create a bugzilla entry if Seth thinks it's worth it - it's only > 40ish lines that can be done in many different ways in little > time, it > would be 10 lines with less config opts.
