Well, I'm so tired of asking people what operating system they are running, so I just give the answers that I would like myself if I asked the same question. If the operating system is not mentioned I assume that he or she has the same operating system as me. So why I suggested sed is that it's pre-installed if your operating system is the same as what I've got, and he didn't say otherwise in his original post. Even if he runs Windows, maybe someone else having the same problem can find the solution in sed, who knows? By the way, sed can be installed in windows, at least 32-bit: http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/sed.htm But I haven't tried it myself since I don't have Windows. On the other hand, if you are going to install sed, you could rather install Perl instead… Kind regards Johnny Rosenberg ジョニー・ローゼンバーグ -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe send email to [email protected] For additional commands send email to [email protected] with Subject: help
