I'm still curious as to why you need to edit them.  Why not use awk or sed
to pull out the
data you are interested in & put them into separate files?  You speak about
putting the data into different folders - so it should
not be too difficult to turn your criteria into regular expressions, then
let your script do the
rest.  Once you have your script working you should be able to forget about
it & let it
do the whole chore for you.

If you are running Unix you must have awk & sed on your machine - and
O'Reilly & Associates have
really good introduction to using these programs.   If you're running
windoze, then I can point you towards
versions that you can use.


Cheers,
