Long tim esince I laughed so hard Smilie

But I can understand, it definitly looks like homework.

I am 31 yrs, working as a programmer, only thing, I am a Windows person myslef (don't hate me for that). And csh, tcsh, sed awk, nawk and all these crazy words are still new to me.
I still can't tell the diffeence between ll and ls -tr.

Anyway, this is NOT homework for me, I am sure someone out there did get this as homework, but last time I got to do homeworks was 5 years ago on my B.Sc.

And now to my Q.
I did manage to change the '-' to '+' using SED, but it doesn't want to overwrite the file, so I thaught to use a second file to get the change, delete the first one, and rename. I know long, and not very system perfect, but it's work, and this is what I need. (as I said, I don't get points for short programs ^^)

I couldn't understand how to add a new line. I read the awk man files, but I am not sure if this is the tool I need.

If you can complete this hole for me, that's gr8.

ucblinks(1B)					     SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands					      ucblinks(1B)

NAME
ucblinks - adds /dev entries to give SunOS 4.x compatible names to SunOS 5.x devices SYNOPSIS
/usr/ucb/ucblinks [-e rulebase] [-r rootdir] DESCRIPTION
ucblinks creates symbolic links under the /dev directory for devices whose SunOS 5.x names differ from their SunOS 4.x names. Where possi- ble, these symbolic links point to the device's SunOS 5.x name rather than to the actual /devices entry. ucblinks does not remove unneeded compatibility links; these must be removed by hand. ucblinks should be called each time the system is reconfiguration-booted, after any new SunOS 5.x links that are needed have been created, since the reconfiguration may have resulted in more compatibility names being needed. In releases prior to SunOS 5.4, ucblinks used a nawk rule-base to construct the SunOS 4.x compatible names. ucblinks no longer uses nawk for the default operation, although nawk rule-bases can still be specifed with the -e option. The nawk rule-base equivalent to the SunOS 5.4 default operation can be found in /usr/ucblib/ucblinks.awk. OPTIONS
-e rulebase Specify rulebase as the file containing nawk(1) pattern-action statements. -r rootdir Specify rootdir as the directory under which dev and devices will be found, rather than the standard root directory /. FILES
/usr/ucblib/ucblinks.awk sample rule-base for compatibility links ATTRIBUTES
