You are the man Ygor.... It's going to take me awhile to discern exactly what that function you wrote is even doing there but it does work so thank you.

Do you know why the function with SED is not working though? From what i'm reading that simple for loop should do the trick it just seems that for some reason the function isn't accepting more than 1 arguement. Is that the case with all functions? I know I can't use any extra arguements with alias's but functions seems like they should take them.
