That is a horrible one to solve :-) All the usual tools (grep, sed, tr) are line oriented so they will take one line and replace the CR at the end with something else plus a CR! i.e. they don't do multi-line search and replace easily. I usually end up resorting to using a text-editor.... But sed can be persuaded to do it, if your really need a programmatic solution: http://sed.sourceforge.net/sedfaq4.html#s4.23.3 -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
