This is the difference between _perfect_ and _usable_ . you were aiming at
perfect, and (by your own admition) didn't achieve it. we were aiming at
usable, and although it took almost 3 days to figure it out (way too
long :-) , this super simple script does the job *well enough* .
If one aims higher, one may write the code himself . the spirit of
open source , isn't it ?

oh, and you might want to give it a try, it works OK with almost any
combination of hebrew, english, numbers and what I like to call 'language
neutral characters'.
