But if any of your module or file names contain spaces (like the repository I just imported from Microsoft Visual SourceSafe) then extracting "field 8" is tricky as it is space-delimited. It should be noted that the module names are followed by "==" (aligned to the same column in each row), and the start of all the module names are in the same column. Hence the module name is columns n-m where n and m are the same in every line. The character at n-1 is a space on every line, the characters at m+1 and m+2 are "=", and there are at least 7 fields before column n. Note also that character n-2 must NOT be a space for at least one line. This won't catch everything, but it will help.
