Beautiful man! Hats off. I've never used sed like that but I'll surely remember that one. Thanks from everybody.

"sed" is a very nice tool. You can do amazing things with it. I once did a XML to HTML (limited) parser in it. I know someone that even coded a "Sokoban"-like game with sed and nothing else.

Mastering sed really makes life much easier.
