It may be a case of   one (1) word ( character or numbers) gets no
quotes...  and fails to get picked up by the scrip=20

	Hi -
	    Thanks for responding....
	=20
	 Yes, I had thought about doing that as another processing
script, as I renumber rule numbers from 1 -> 9 to 001-> 009.
	 remove / add/ change other stuff.  so maybe I'll just grab each
position and if its' empty - change it=20
	=20
	as for the comments  try this out:
	=20
	 copy your rulebases_5_0.fws into someplace you can "play: with
it.
	=20
	 Now if grep for comments  ( Where all the rule comments are) I
have , as an example

		If you notice, there are no quotes (") for 562424.   so
, edit a comment ( or add a comment) and add it just as a number. -
better yet - make a comment in one of your rulebases and just add
numbers ( no other characters ) -=20
		    and the script won't pick it up. I'm trying to track
it down.
		=20
		 Thanks again for the advice - i'll give it a try.

		Hm, in my opinion this solution is quiet ugly, because
it breaks=20
		everything :). You have to implement that as an optional
parameter, like=20
		--print-nulls or something like that, you should never
change the default=20
		behavior!=20

		As an temporary workaround (until somebody implement
this features - who=20
		volunteers? :)) you could use a postprocess script,
which replaces the=20
		'empty' values with a NULL.=20

		If you use tabs as delimiter:=20
		# fwtool.pl ...=20
		# perl -i -pe 's/\t\t/\tNULL\t/g' output.tsv # these
both commands=20
		# perl -i -pe 's/\t\n/\tNULL\n/g' output.tsv # replaces
all the empty=20
		                                             # strings
with NULL=20
		                                             #
(untested)=20
		# mysql 'LOAD INTO FILE .. bla bla output.tsv'=20

		Hm, atm I don't have an fw rulebase with such comments,
but if I have=20
		time I'll try to verify that tomorrow. Empty comments
are exported=20
