Thank you, Ken!

About the first half, my response to this answer also applies, with one exception, that I didn't know [3..5] construct, thank you for that specifically, enriched me by that knowledge.

But the second is much closer to what I am looking for. Actually I was thinking about splitting and partial evaluation, but I was curious, if there is something yet simpler, what will replace all occurences (theoretically there can be more of them, although currently are not) of backticks pairs with standard output of their contents. I am able to code something like you provided (I don't want to abuse you guys to code that instead of me), this is not the problem, but I prefer re-using already existing functionalities instead of enlarging code base with functionalities, which are already avaliable from some module or built-in construct.
