Ok, lets clear a few things up. Thx davidl......heres the test results :)

echo abcdef | sed -e "s/c/X/" <--should yield--> abXdef
that worked, it printed abXdef, like u said :)
...

Sorry Jimbo, didn't work - these are my results:

echo abcdef | /usr/xpg4/bin/sed -e "s/c/X/"
it just printed the file name that i entered after echo e.g. abcdef


ls -ld somefilename |
cut...

I did:

echo menu | /usr/xpg4/bin/sed -e "s/c/X/"

and the outcome was:

menu (just printed the file name is this the right outcome??)


Any other pointers Jimbo?? We're so close...

davidl tried wat u said, but didn't seem to work, don't know why.

Your idea seems a bit complex compared with Jimbo's, its definatly something to do with the sed command
sed "s/./& /g" ...
