Extract Information From a Text Output

* (Q) I would like to be to do a
*	SYSFILE INFO FILE = 'G:\wherever\whatever.sav'.
*	and then remove all of the output except the portion between the print 
*	back of the command and a point up to but not including
*	the "variables information".

* Any suggestions?

*Is it possible to make a macro that takes a filespec as a token, 
	executes a SYSFILE INFO on that filespec, and then calls a script 
	that trims out all of the variable information, leaving just the 
	info about the file?

* Modify the path of the script in the macro as required.
