Hey Chubler_XL that looks nice actually. Thanks so much! I'm not at my computer right now but I'll try it out first thing tomorrow.
It is easiest to separate segments in.dilm files by using quotes ( like "\"" ) as the separator (instead of tabs or spaces). Here is an example of what .dilm files look like. I am trying to replace just the numbers in the file. The numbers are always surrounded by quotes which is why I was thinking quotes would be best. (There are not spaces in-between the numbers and the quotes.)
< Landmark "something" "y="0.999999" something" ... >
< Landmark "something" "y="0.999999" something" ... >
< Landmark "something" "y="0.999999" something" ... >
...
The file then will be called by another program that interprets files of this kind. Only the numbers must change.
Thanks again.

path_to_inst
path_to_inst(4) File Formats path_to_inst(4)
NAME
path_to_inst - device instance number file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/path_to_inst
DESCRIPTION
/etc/path_to_inst records mappings of physical device names to instance numbers.
The instance number of a device is encoded in its minor number, and is the way that a device driver determines which of the possible
devices that it may drive is referred to by a given special file.
In order to keep instance numbers persistent across reboots, the system records them in /etc/path_to_inst.
This file is read only at boot time, and is updated by add_drv(1M) and devfsadm(1M).
Note that it is generally not necessary for the system administrator to change this file, as the system will maintain it.
The system administrator can change the assignment of instance numbers by editing this file and doing a reconfiguration reboot. However,
any changes made in this file will be lost if add_drv(1M) or devfsadm(1M) is run before the system is rebooted.
Each instance entry is a single line of the form:
"physical name" instance number "driver binding name"
where
physical name is the absolute physical pathname of a device. This pathname must be enclosed in double quotes.
instance number is a decimal or hexadecimal number.
driver binding name is the name used to determine the driver for the device. This name may be a driver alias or a driver name. The
driver binding name must be enclosed in double quotes.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 Sample path_to_inst Entries
Here are some sample path_to_inst entries:
"/iommu@f,e0000000" 0 "iommu"
"/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000" 0 "sbus"
"/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/sbusmem@e,0" 14 "sbusmem"
"/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/sbusmem@f,0" 15 "sbusmem"
"/iommu@f,e0000000/sbus@f,e0001000/ledma@f,400010" 0 "ledma"
"/obio/serial@0,100000" 0 "zs"
"/SUNW,sx@f,80000000" 0 "SUNW,sx"
FILES
/etc/path_to_inst Mapping of physical device names to instance numbers.
SEE ALSO
add_drv(1M), boot(1M), devfsadm(1M), mknod(1M)
WARNINGS
If the file is removed the system may not be bootable (as it may rely on information found in this file to find the root, usr or swap
device). If it does successfully boot, it will regenerate the file, but after rebooting devices may end up having different minor numbers
than they did before, and special files created via mknod(1M) may refer to different devices than expected.
For the same reasons, changes should not be made to this file without careful consideration.
