Yes, the search string occurs only once in each line. I'd like to do this from the command line.

if it'll be difficult to make the changes on the "last" 250 occurrence of the search string, then I can work with the first 250 occurrences of the search strings.

thanks.

NAME

       pagesize - Print supported system page sizes

SYNOPSIS

       pagesize [options]

DESCRIPTION

       The  pagesize utility prints the page sizes of a page of memory in bytes, as returned by getpagesizes(3). This is useful when creating por-

       If no parameters are specified, pagesize prints the system base page size as returned by getpagesize().	The  following	parameters  affect
       what other pagesizes are displayed.

       --huge-only, -H

	      Display all huge pages supported by the system as returned by gethugepagesizes().

       --all, -a

	      Display all page sizes supported by the system.
