Hello all,
I've got to migrate a set of embedded (in excel workbooks) function calls from one arg list signature to another.

ie: funca(a,b,c,d) -> func(a,b,XXX,YYY,d) 
or funcb(a,b,c,d) -> func(a,b,,,d)

[download]
there are ~10 functions that need translating into ~6 new targets.

I've been building a pair of hashes, one for the func name translations and another for the arglists. But this is getting very c-ish and clunky. Can someone suggest a different, perhaps more general, approach? rather than hard wiring a set of hashes...

thanks,
-Tom
