"typed" files OR xml OR meta information for delim. files.I hope this isn't off topic. It seems a very large number of text files are some sort of delimited files (.csv, .tab, etc.). Awk seems to expect these files and cleanly allows dealing with only specific 'fields' in the file. Have there been any attempts to introduce some sort of (easy to use) meta data which describes layout of the file...perhaps more importantly the type of data in it. Excel or specific database files are obviously tied to the application that created them.
