Point taken David. One hammer doesn't fit all screws. I nearly posted to the list this week when someone asked about post processing for the form feed. No, I'm neither a sed nor perl user. I do, on rare occasions, process plain text. My solution is probably not as complete as sed/perl, but it does the little I need.
