Snippage reinserter v1.0

Snippage reinserter v1.0? LOL!

Sandman
Yup, he snips so much so I had to write a script so I didn't had to manually copy and paste what he had snipped. It's a small (55 line) script that takes the post I'm responding to, analyzes the post *that* is responding to and determines what parts of it is missing in the followup, and then recreates the post with one quoted level. Easy :) Here's a video of it in action: <https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqRk44jc2vI>

It's not grabbing *just* the missing data from the post and putting it back in its proper places, is it (which would be harder to do and may not be worth it if you can just regrab the post)?

Yeah it is. It only reinserts the parts that were snipped. It's only a v1.0 so it may have some bugs that I'd have to work out, but still.

If you look in the video, you can se how in Snit's followup to my post, he has quoted "No examples posted, no" and then snipped the rest. In the automatic reinsertion, the part "No examples posted, no" is left out of the reinsertion since it was not snipped by him.
