I do need to go complex for this, so FERM or Tom's suggestion, look like potential good ways to go. Yes, it does look a bit daunting in its interface--they claim a C-structureed language, but it's just different enough to be counter-intuitive to me, if looked at from a C/PHP/etc. prospective. As you say, even that, is better than doing it by hand, as I have done to date.
