I considered using a scripting language, but didn't want to re-invent the wheel, if someone else had written something to do that. Thanks for the info.

For a not long investment in learning time, you can automate all those annoying tasks very easily. Now I use PHP programs to make up table contents, header files declaring lots of tables, etc. You could even use them to "pre-process" macro files from orchestra code if you want to get the macros out of there for debugging purposes. The macros make for very unhelpful error messages. ) If you're just going to be scripting Csound, probably Python is your best bet as there have been some Python extensions in various builds of csound, though of course Perl will do too. I use PHP just because I wanted to learn it for web stuff anyway, and I naturally gravitate to it's very C-like syntax. For my uses PHP works just as well as Perl and Python. Plus php5 looks like it will be very nice. Php syntax with way better oop support. = ) If you want a sample PHP script I used for making loads of table headers, I'll post it to the list.
