that daemon's proving a hard taskmaster ... this time it's:

Name of contribution: catchfilebetweentags Author's name: Florent CHERVET Author's email: florent.chervet@laposte.net Location on CTAN: macros/latex/contrib/FC/catchfilebetweentags Summary description: Catch (into a macro) a portion of a file delimited by two docstrip tags License type: lppl

Announcement text given by the package's contributor:

If you know the package catchfile, upon which catchfilebetweentags is written, you've understood yet the purpose of this package.

The macro catchfilebetweentags acts like catchfile but extract a portion of the file instead of the complete file. The extracted portion can be delimited by strings or by docstrip tags : %<*tag> .... .... %</tag>

Comments inside the portion can be ignored or catched.

ExecuteMetaData is a shortcut to execute immediately the extracted portion.

thanks for the upload; i have installed this new package and made an entry in the catalogue repository.

Users may view the package catalogue entry at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/help/Catalogue/entries/catchfilebetweentags... or they may browse the package directory at http://www.tex.ac.uk/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/catchfilebetweentags/

the catalogue entry won't appear on the web until some time tonight.
