Sorry, I did not express myself clear enough. This sed thing changes every line in the "wget-script" script. This, I did easily with emacs (while sed is much more elegant). My problem is: I do not want to do hundreds of mv package1_1xxxxx3a.deb package1_1%3a.deb mv package2_1xxxxx3a.deb package2_1%3a.deb and so on Any idea how to do this automatically? thanks joerg -- Did you know that if you play a Windows 2000 cd backwards, you will hear the voice of Satan? That's nothing! If you play it forward, it'll install Windows 2000.
