[ale] SED question

[Greg Freemyer]

All,

I have not worked much with sed.

Does it have the ability to use a non-standard record and field separators?

ie.  I have about 5000 files that use ~ as the record separator and *
as the field separator, not <newline> and , or whatever.

If it can my goal is two fold.

First have verification script that verifies all 5000 files start
their 4th record with BHT.  (ie. The file is
"aaaa~bbbb~cccc~BHTaaaa~..."

And then a separate script to append the files filename as a field to
the 4th record (ie. Add *$filename to the forth record).


Thanks
Greg
