Impressive! Thank you.
Can I ask a more general question?
I don't know awk and I have been trying to avoid it. It seems very cryptic and hard to understand to me and I think the learning curve for me to pick it up will be steep.
Yet I do need to make these types of text substitutions.
What are my other options? Do you think I should bite the bullet and learn awk, or is there something else that would be easier for me to pick up?
Thanks again for your advice.
