Thanks. This works now. I wrote a little python script now to save time and
thought maybe someone else might need it as well. It works for me but it was
just a quick shot. There was not much time to think about all possibilities,
and may be the regular expressions need to be modified. I first need to get this
thesis finished. So no guarantee.
All the best
