Jim: Have you considered inserting token characters that can be used as itemdelimiters? In a stitching application I am working on now, I am using a ` character to delimit streams of text into sections to do just the block manipulation you describe. I further delimit sections into subsections with a tab delimiter, and subs into subsubs with comma delimiters. I prefilter the stream and substitute legitimate tick marks (and tabs and commas) with alias strings, which I filter back out on output. It is kludgey, but it works well for me.
