The problem you mentioned in your Humanist message of 11 oct
could be solved by TUSTEP with the following lines
(blanks in col 1-3 means comment):
#ko,source,dest,,+,*
source - name of the source file
dest - name of the destination file
the program copies those lines which meet the following
condition:
zf+ /vivir/
the string "vivir" must be present.
For the sake of finding this string, the text should
be transformed (without changing the text itself)
according to the following rules:
xv /u/v/
treat u as v
xv /b/v/
treat b as v
xv /j/i/
treat j as i
(the number of replacements is practically illimited;
not only single characters, but also strings may be
replaced, exceptions given etc: eg.:
/ph/f//phd//
means: treat "ph" as "f", but not if it is part of "phd"

The TUSTEP editor allows you to do similar
searches also online, interactively.
