Now that it's phrased that way, a memory arises. I was trying to make filters to make articles posted to a mailing list readable a while back (my ISN hardware would freeze on a ^S with bit 8 high, which is a quote in one of the character sets). Anyway, there were a couple of filterings that I couldn't do, as sed seemed to ignore certain combinations that it generated. The solution was two filters: cat rawfile | sed -f filter1 | sed -f filter2 which solved my problems. rick -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
