I dislike the exact duplication of the commands here.

Would it not make sense to provide some function / script to do that?

I think this needs a comment to explain what sort of magic you are
invoking here.

Why exactly do you need 4 invocations of sed here?  Seems just like a
waste of processes to me.

BTW:  what exactly is "LST" supposed to mean?

Comment needed.
