Cool. Thanks for the example.  Sounds like something fun to play with at
home.  Since it is only the inserts which would need their own parser for
my current application, I'd think that writing my own parser, whilst fun,
but too much of an over kill. For now, the filter seems to work just fine.

Thanks to all.
