Hello,

I'm searching for a macro processor that I want to use to generate a
configuration file a network appliance. It should be able to turn an
input file like this ...

	FOO="a b c"
	BAR="1 2 3"
	BLA="fasel"
	command0
	command1 @FOO@ using a spoon
	command2 @BAR@ with @BLA@
	command3

... into an output file like this:

	command0
	command1 a using a spoon
	command1 b using a spoon
	command1 c using a spoon
	command2 1 with fasel
	command2 2 with fasel
	command2 3 with fasel
	command3

I could hack together a Perl or shell script which does this. But I guess
such a tool already exist. Any recommendations?

	Kind regards
