May I reply also per Email at gnuwin32-users@lists.sourceforge.net
or doesn't "nobody" receive my answer then?

Download sed-4.1.2-bin.zip, sed-4.1.2-dep.zip and sed-4.1.2-doc.zip,
install it and then write

sed -n
":x;s/^\([^\n]*\)Comment\s\+\([^\n]\{0,6\}\)[^\n]*/\1\n\2/;tx;s/^[^\n]*\n//p"
filename.txt

in one line in a cmd windows. For more powerful text processing
there is also the package gawk.
