Sed's actually a poor choice - it supports "type one" (for want of a better term) regexes, and substrings are demarked with \( and \) versus "full regular expressions" which use ( and ). Use perl or python or egrep of emacs or some of the more modern vi clones etc. -- Cameron Simpson, DoD#743 [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.zip.com.au/~cs/ skeptic wrote: > Why are we exploring space?

[...] The best answer was the one Leon Lederman (director of Fermilab) gave to Phil Donahue when Donahue badgered him with "What does it do for the defense of the country?" Leaving aside the absurdity of Donahue playing the hawk, Lederman stood up on a chair and shouted him down, then replied, "It helps make it worth defending." - Doug Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
