SED question
I am trying to write a script that will take an input text file in the format

person: place: phonenumber;
person: place: phonenumber;
person: place: phonenumber;
...

and output it using sed too:

Name ######## Location ######### Phone Number
-------------------------------------------------------
person ####### place ########## (xxx) xxx-xxxx

without the pound signs.

I'm having a hard time understanding how SED reads the colon, and how to create headers to place the info under.

Any help is much appreciated.
