It can probably be done with sed, but without knowing the specifics of what you're doing, no one can give a meaningful opinion. I use sed, grep, and awk all the time, but I can't tell you anything without seeing your sed statement and a sample file. I'd recommend posting to a forum where sed is a frequent topic and giving enough information to allow someone to actually help you. Someone somewhere maintains a sed FAQ along with a file of 100 sed statements giving examples of various tasks. I can't remember the URL, but googling will probably bring it up.
