Examples
table initialize( animals,
{ { Name, Size, Speed, Movement, Leg count, Surface, Special Skills },
{ Parrot, small, 50, flying, 2, feathers, immitates voices },
{ Dog, small, 30, walking, 4, hair, sense of smell },
{ Cat, small, 20, walking, 4, hair, night vision },
{ Fox, small, 25, walking, 4, hair, relatively smart },
{ Owl, small, 80, flying, 2, feathers, night vision },
{ Worm, tiny, 0.01, crawling, 0, mucous skin,unclear },
{ Whale, huge, 30, swimming, 0, skin, relatively smart } } );
headers[] = [animals:..,0]-{Name};
table initialize( target,
{ { Size, Speed, Movement, Leg count, Surface, Special Skills, Animal, Double Speed },
{ '*', ':mod([.],40)=0','*', '*', '*', '*', "It's an", 2 }, // Speed divisible by 40 -> Owl
{ small, '20..30', '*', '*', Hair, '*', "It's a ", 2 }, // Dog, Cat, Fox
{ small, '20..30', '*', '*', Hair, '*', "It's a ", 2 }, // "

{ '*', '<1', '*', '*', '*', '*', "", 2 } } );
count[] = table expand with rules ignore case ( target, headers[], {Animal, Movement, Double Speed},
animals, headers[], {Name, Movement, Speed}, { append with space, overwrite, mul }, true, Counter );
// Data integration process: Overwrite movement in target table, Add animal name to 'It's ...' and note double speed.

table list( animals );
echo("Target table after lookup (", count[], " items found):");
table list( target );
