Modify sources.list from script

i'm looking for a way to enable and disable repositories from a script.
i started with a sed command like this:
Code:
sed '/*'"$REPO"'/,/'"$STOP"'/ s/^[ #]*//' /etc/apt/sources.list

but this enables both the normal and the source repos.
for example:
Code:
# deb http://www.lamaresh.net/apt lenny main
# deb-src http://www.lamaresh.net/apt lenny main

anybody knows of a way to control just one? e.g. just add/remove the # from the concerning repo line?

all help much appreciated Smilie

ps, sorry if this is in the wrong section.
