    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?
    (http://cdrx.sourceforge.net). </tongue-in-cheek>
