thanks Frank, maybe that would be the better way. The pity of it is that I have 
to guarantee that the script is on every host (ca. 800) - okay !
It was rather a question in general if I have to give an eye to the length of 
the line in future.

@Mark - in fact I know nothing about lex/flex - I have to recherche
