Just the sort of task that regular expressions excel at. A bit of futzing with Python would have worked (despite years of vague attempts, I can't do Perl) but keeping everything in AppleScript would be simpler – and simple / down and dirty scripting was called for here. After downloading the Satimage OSAX, 30 minutes or so of testing the OSAX followed by a bit of cutting and pasting from older scripts and done. Data in database.
