[snip] Didier, please don't take this to be a scathing criticism, but... rather than creating a 12-line perl script to make simple edits, why not take a few minutes to expand your own knowledge (obviously, you're a smart guy) and find a reasonable solution using vi, as the OP was inquiring? The answer to his question is basic VI syntax. There's no reason to reinvent this wheel with a mac truck. :) What's next? A 1000-line perl program to take the place of cdrecord?
