I put this together a while ago, I think may be a base of what you are looking for...

If you have more text to sample I can try it, and then forward the script to you.

I am happy to give you my script for you to adapt as needed.

Unless you have a need for multiples of these to do, I dont really see the benefit of having a script do it though...

Please be aware, I created this for my own use and have not put it through any robust testing that I would normally do.

Use at your own risk!!
