The cat command is not necessary since sed can read a file on its own.
The red part is matching another 16 characters, and when you \1 those 16 matched chars are discarded and replaced by AAAAAAAA.
The red part has to be the same length of the substitution if you do not want to truncate the original line any farther.

You can do it with many other programs, however I prefer Perl.

tt_message_rejecter
tt_message_rejecter(library call) tt_message_rejecter(library call)
NAME
tt_message_rejecter -- return offer's nth rejecting procid
SYNOPSIS
#include <Tt/tt_c.h>
char *tt_message_rejecter(
Tt_message m,
int n);
DESCRIPTION
The tt_message_rejecter function returns the procid of the nth rejecter of the specified message.
The m argument is the opaque handle for the message involved in this operation. The n argument is the number of the rejecter to be
returned. The first rejecter is numbered zero.
RETURN VALUE
Upon successful completion, the tt_message_rejecter function returns the procid of the nth rejecter. The application can use tt_ptr_error
to extract one of the following Tt_status values from the returned pointer:
TT_OK The operation completed successfully.
TT_ERR_PROCID
There is no valid default procid, perhaps because tt_open has not yet been called.
TT_ERR_NUM
The integer value passed was invalid (out of range).
TT_ERR_STATE
The specified message is not in state TT_RETURNED. Since only TT_OFFERs can be in state TT_RETURNED, this status will be
returned if the specified message is a TT_NOTICE or a TT_REQUEST.
TT_ERR_POINTER
The pointer passed does not point to an object of the correct type for this operation.
APPLICATION USAGE
The application can use tt_free to free any data stored in the address returned by the ToolTalk API.
