    awk code for this wiki:  beware the ''&'' feature of sub/gsub
pclip | awk64 -v s=\\\ -v t=\040\\\046nbsp\073\040 -v u=\136# -v v=\136-- $0~u{next}$0~v{print;next}/\173{{/,/\175}}/{print;next}{gsub((FS)FS,t);print(($0)s)} | clip
    \040 is space  \046 &  \073 ;  \136 ^  \173 {  \175 }
    pclip prints the clipboard;  clip copies to clipboard
