I didn't give a complete solution, that's why I called it a starter and referenced the looping.

I am awed by the power of sed. I routinely use it's regular expression capability, but I rarely use hold buffer and looping command. It has been my goal for some time to become skilful at using these. Your question would have been the perfect opportunity for me to dig in and come up with a solution that demonstrates that power. But I flat did not have the time then, and it looks like you have a solution now that you find satisfying. I'll work on it off-line.

Yeah, I've noticed Scrutinizer writes some good and straight-forward code. Stick with him.

gurlchecker

GURLCHECKER(1)						    http://labs.libre-entrepris 					    GURLCHECKER(1)

NAME

       gurlchecker - A graphical web link checker that works on a whole site, a single local page or a browser bookmarks file.

SYNOPSIS

       gurlchecker [-h|--help] [-v|--version] [-u|--http-user user] [-p|--http-passwd password] [-A|--no-urls-args] [URL]

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents the gurlchecker command.

       gurlchecker is a graphical web link checker. It searches URLs in a whole site, a single local page or a browser bookmarks page, checking
       them, one by one, in order to know their validity. Furthermore, it can manage entire projects.

OPTIONS

       This program follows the usual GNU command line syntax, with long options starting with two dashes (`-'). A summary of options is included
       below.

       -h, --help
	   Show summary of options.

       -v, --version
	   Show version of program.

       -u, --http-user
	   User name for HTTP Basic Authentication.

       -p, --http-passwd
	   Password for HTTP Basic Authentication.

       -A, --no-urls-args
	   Ignore URLs arguments.

	   With this option gurlchecker will systematically remove arguments on URLs. It is useful to avoid nasty infinite loops when arguments
	   are randomly generated, for example.
