There is another program added to the archive: stremove works best from the command line stremove -h |more There is a long message. stremove removes /replaces text from the command line. You can remove / replace strings or blocks of text The program has an options file that you can use with: stremove --opt_f="stremove.opt" A string file and a replacement string file is also allowed. You can get the archive from http://www.hurontel.on.ca/~barryp Enjoy: Barry
