So the output of /2hop provides data in a format that is quite difficult to reliably scrape:

IP address	SYM	MPR	MPRS	Will.
	2hop interface adrress
172.29.174.189	YES	NO	NO	3		172.29.190.217
	172.29.62.59
	172.29.207.239
	172.29.56.119
172.29.56.119	YES	YES	NO	7		172.29.190.217
	172.29.174.189
	172.29.62.59
	172.29.207.239


And it gets worse when there are no 2hop interface addresses:

172.29.174.189	YES	NO	NO	3		172.29.56.119	YES	YES	NO	7		172.29.190.217
	172.29.174.189
	172.29.62.59
	172.29.207.239


Anyone mind if I changed it to output the "2hop interface adrress" data as a comma separated list? Like:

IP address	SYM	MPR	MPRS	Will.		2hop interface adrress list
172.29.174.189	YES	NO	NO	3		172.29.190.217,172.29.62.59,172.29.207.239,172.29.56.119

This makes it always have the same number of tab-separated columns, no matter how many "2hop interface addresses" there are.
