You could do it with this kind of grep statement ...
(id="1".+)\/col>$
\1/company>
... as the pattern -- just in case there is some other closing tag in
your file that has "col" in it, such as "collate", "college",
"collision", "color", etc. This grep statement assumes that the tag "/
col" occurs at the end of lines.
