Well, I thought about to avoid TMTOOLS but I couldn't find a  
solution. I also tried to manipulate the *.tmmacro file directly;  
call via osascript reloadBundle. It works but it takes times and it's  
a stony way.

I will write a TMTOOLS command. Actually I did it, but I figured out  
that if the document is too large Perl crashes with

libperl.dylib 	0x977aebd4 S_regmatch + 13756

ASAIK is this a memory exception. Well, TM is stable, but maybe I  
will try Ruby.
I also tried to write such a parser in pure Obj-C. It works brilliant  
but it's slow, thus I guess one has to write it in low-level C.
It would be VERY nice if one has the chance to use TM's Oniguruma  
regexp engine within a plug-in, but up to now I didn't get rid of it.  
Maybe Allan is able to give a hint :) This would simplify thousands  
of tiny thing :D


With Perl I have to fix the coding issue, i.e. byte offset versus  
character offset; and finally there's a tiny problem with 'Soft Tabs'  
which I have to solve.

In other words I need a bit time yet ;)
