So I consider it to be a bit dirty hack (sorry, Wolfgang;)), in a sense that it is not very flexible. Thanks for clarification, here I begin to understand

If your stopper is, say ")" (and the second one, say, "]", so you have references in a strange form like "1)2]"), you might want to say something like \def\doItemNumber #1)#2]#3\relax mmmm... I tried before posting... doesn't work

Could you please send me a minimal example?

...

\edef\sometemporarymacroname{% \def\noexpand\doItemNumber ##1\stopper ##2\stopperr ##3\relax {\noexpand\doifelsenothing{##2} {##1} {##2}}% }% \sometemporarymacroname Here I stop understand and I can't get this code working. Could you give me a full example?

As above; send me a file, I'll try to do something. Still, I'm not really sure this would work, it was only a rough idea. I'll explain it later (it's 1:30 AM here in Poland;)).

I'm not sure whether this works, though, *please* check it and tell me (maybe I'm doing some stupid error, please the TeX gurus correct me if yes). I hope this is ok, though, because then it my first post to this list containing actually an _answer_ and not a _question_:))). This time will never come for me.

If you follow the path of TeX, your expertise will gradually rise;). You'll never notice, though, until people start coming to you asking questions, and will be baffled by your expert-like, impossible-to-understand-and-technical answers;).
