It is likely that sed could do it better, but I'm not a good writer. If you don't mind it being slow, you could also try (in korn shell):-
Be aware that you cannout write to the file you are reading from. This could be rather slow if you are reading in a large file.
I hope that this helps, but like I said, a sed would probably be better.
