Thanks Chubler,
I'll try this out and see how it works, thanks. Is sed included by default in Ubuntu? We have a major requirement that things not be too difficult to maintain, and we don't want to risk needing to reinstall sed to make things work.
Thanks,

HISTORY
The GNU shtool subst command was originally written by Ralf S. Engelschall <rse@engelschall.com> in 2001 for GNU shtool. It was prompted
by the need to have a uniform and convenient patching frontend to sed(1) operations in the OpenPKG package specifications.
