With all the lines that begin with "Pages " (/^Pages /) do the following:
0) do not echo the line (-n)
{
1) nothing (;)
2) replace "Pages " with nothing (s///)
3) replace : and any number of spaces with an = (s/: */=/)
4) remove the period at the end of the line (s/\.$//
5) replace ever - or space with an underscore (s/[- ]/_/g)
6) print the result (p)
}
end
