The subject says it all. Reunion 12. I am new to Mark-ing. I am able to mark all persons with [-- in their name. How can I add all of their immediate relatives to that list, and then export people in that list to to a GEDCOM? (there are about 125 of them, so I'm hoping to automate this as much as possible).Thanks in advance.

Here are the steps I've come up with. However, it lacks the automation, requiring manually processing each of the persons to add their immediate family. Can that be automated?
Reunion 12. How to GEDCOM export all people with [-- in their name
along with their immediate family.
Steps:
= = = = =
1. Find -> Full Name Contains [--
2. Mark -> Unmark, Everyone in this family file
3. Click on the CheckMark to the left of Name in the Results
of the Find above.
4. Click on the first name in the Results list
5. Mark -> Action: Mark, Who: Everyone in the immeditate family
of... (the family selected in step 4)
Make sure Unmark everybody first is unchecked.
Check: Mark spouses
Check: Mark parents of spouses
Click: Mark
(you can observe the number of marked people increase in the
center window, bottom right, where it says NNN marked.
6. Go to 4 and click on the next name. Step through the list until
the end.
7. upon reaching the end of the list, click on Save Set...
(under Mark Sets) -> Save (can give it a name or accept the
name it gives it.
Click on Edit Sets to see your current saved sets.
Now all people with Names that contain [-- and their immediate
family are marked, and saved in a set.
8. File -> Export -> GEDCOM -> General -> Marked people (nnn)
and their spouses (hmmm. seems one piece of the above was
unnecessary, but it did also mark parents of spouses
(optionally).
-> Export
Enter (or accept the defaults) filename and directory for the
GEDCOM export
-> Export
