replacing 1e+ with powers of ten

Dear all,

I am trying to write a script that modifies a file created with gnuplot.

If (the "if" is important, some files might not have them) in the (tex) file there are instances like

Code:

      \put(1342,704){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} 1e+31}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,1383){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} 1e+32}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,2061){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} 1e+33}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,2740){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} 1e+34}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,3418){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} 1e+35}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,4097){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} 1e+36}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,4775){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} 1e+37}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1474,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 1e-08}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(2073,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 1e-07}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(2673,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 1e-06}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(3272,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 1e-05}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(3872,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 0.0001}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(4471,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 0.001}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(5071,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 0.01}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(5670,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 0.1}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(6270,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 1}}%

then replace them with

Code:

      \put(1342,704){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} $10^{31}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,1383){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} $10^{32}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,2061){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} $10^{33}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,2740){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} $10^{34}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,3418){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} $10^{35}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,4097){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} $10^{36}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1342,4775){\makebox(0,0)[r]{\strut{} $10^{37}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(1474,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} $10^{-08}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(2073,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} $10^{-07}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(2673,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} $10^{-06}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(3272,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} $10^{-05}$}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(3872,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 0.0001}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(4471,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 0.001}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(5071,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 0.01}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(5670,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 0.1}}%
      \csname LTb\endcsname%
      \put(6270,484){\makebox(0,0){\strut{} 1}}%

i.e.

all e in a line preceded by \strut{} ---> replace with 0

all + in a line preceded by \strut{} ---> replace with ^{ and close bracket

all - in a line preceded by \strut{} ---> add before ^{ and close bracket

and then wrap all instances of 10^{whatever} with dollars ---> $10^{whatever}$

Thanks....
