Vincent,

   This worked here, too. Looking very closely at the command I used before I
now see that I missed adding the substitute s to sed. That's why it didn't
work; sed didn't know what to do with the patterns.

   Mea culpa! And I had a second mug of coffee, too. No excuse here.

Thanks and best regards,

Rich
