Hi Don,

Actually the Sample Input was made up arbitrarily by me. It does not necessarily contain the string "Srt". Therefore the sed command, which I was trying should not work.

With regards to your suggestion of using "ed" command, that is just perfect and what I was looking for. To be honest, I didn't know this command even existed...though I know it does now. I'll look into the man page of "ed" now.

I'll try to play around with it for now.

Thanks a lot for the quick assistance Don! Really appreciate it!
