You don't understand the problem.  I want to change nameA to nameB,
nameC to nameD, nameE to nameF ... nameY to nameZ, so I can skip
the processing that does that on processing table lines that can't

and using AWK I can do what I want in less than 100 lines, while
editing the table in place - without creating temporary files.
