I already have an idea. Since $11 is the last output I might be able to
check whether there is a space followed by a sign, by a loop, assumed
there should be several spaces, interrupted by signs. I guess to care for
several spaces one after the other and exotic signs that might "break" awk
IMO isn't needed.
It might become a very long "command line" ;). Perhaps I don't need it, I
have to test it. I extracted the first dump, but need a rest now.
Thank you :).
