Sorry to hear you had trouble with sed.  I still hold that it's a better
solution - from a development standpoint, from an implementation-time
standpoint and from a future-change standpoint - than most others one might
invent.  The google search should probably have been for Regular
Expressions.  An excellent resource for those is at
http://www.regular-expressions.info/

In any case, I hope you have your working solution soon.
