Hi, I update my MakeHuman svn source and the Blender svn source on a daily basis. Currently the Blender folks did a change in the registration code for Blender scripts. The MakeHuman folks provide a script, which is needed to load the putput of MakeHuman into Blender. This script isn't "new registration ready". I have to do the following the changes to the Makehuman script (a handfull): change this: ======================================= def registration() <script specific stuff def unregistration() <script specific stuff into this: ========================================= def registration() bpy.utils.register_module(__name__) <script specific stuff def unregistration() bpy.utils.unregister_module(__name__) <script specific stuff until the MakeHuman folks have time to integrate my patch into their code. Since I do update often I would have to edit all these files by hand every time. It would be much more time saveing, if a sed-oneliner from the commandline, saved into the shell history, could do this for me.... I googled a little in beforehand and found the "a" command, but I didn't managed to get it working for me...so... Best regards, mcc
