Wow! This rocks.
That seems to work. Unbelievable.

The actual file may have anywhere from 1 to 10 or more colon separated subjects per user. Do you think it will still work Ok?

I guess I'm wondering if the \1,\2,\3 are looking for a specific number of entries in the last field.

As you can see I'm a newbie and have only used sed for the most basic of find and replaces.

Cheers,
-J
