No problem on the back-to-back comments. Actually, thanks for giving updates on your progress. It sounds like you have a pretty good solution now and hopefully this discussion can benefit anyone else who stumbles on this article.
I meant to reply sooner... I was going to play around with the text object over the weekend and I didn't get around to it. In any case, it seems the text object is much better than textedit when it's important to process the text exactly as entered. Maybe I should update the ajm.ruby help file with some examples, or at least post a follow up article here.
