   Hello Kurt,

   I know very little about either, honestly.  But I do scour Google for    
   information.  Once I have my own place and a dedicated computer room, I'd like    
   to get a few books on things like sed and awk because I know how terribly    
   handy they are.

   I know sed and awk could do it.  I hear you on the sleep.  I am getting eight    
   hours of sleep but still feeling worse than I did when I went to bed    
   earlier...

   ... The nice thing about standards is, there are so many to choose from.
