i fully understand cfajohnson's point of view that "sed (or any external command) should not be used to chop a single string".
I am arguing that that's not true because
1) for some situations, using sed's regexp is easier, especially to a person versed in the art of regexp. in this situation, development time is more important than execution time.
2) processor time/resources are so cheap nowadays that its insignificant to even mention.
