Has somebody made a python script to extract all the comments from a pd file? that could save time when f.e. converting a pd help file with a lot of seperate comments to a text or pdf file. It can't be much work but maybe someone has made this already...

not python, but still simple... cat mypath.pd | egrep "^#X text [0-9]+ [0-9]+"

oh and yes, somebody has made sthg like this, as most of the current pdpedia is just that: comments from the help-patches
