I am aware of this, that is why I am so thankfull for the sed and awk 
solutions provided here. Those are a little bit more handy than a perl 
script :)

Of course there are differences between those tools as well, but so far 
those seem to have a common playground - the awk as well as sed examples 
  so far are working for gnu as well as [Free|Net]BSD. Not even required 
to add the --posix flag to gnu sed.
