Haha, not quite - work!
We have a content checker to detect uuencoded strings before it enters a very strict environment and I need to detect that rule above to prevent what could be a uuencoded string.

---------- Post updated at 02:02 PM ---------- Previous update was at 01:43 PM ----------

So I think the regex would be:

Code:
A.{5,6}<

But I am very inexperienced with sed so any help on that part would be much appreciated.
