I thought it would pick up the first? If I change the second SRC to SRX, then
it does pick up the first one.
Right. As I explained, the .* is greedy.
What do I need to specify to make it pick up the first one?
No clue, I only use sed for very basic one-liner substitutions. I'd suggest using perl and split()-ting up your stdin to an array. Let me know if you need assistance with this. You can always look in my Hatchet code (http://www.dixongroup.net/hatchet) for ideas. It's for OpenBSD PF logs, but the concepts are the same.
