in reply to Command line preprocessing


Perhaps you could do it in the Perl shell.

From the docs:

A substitution filter consists of a perl-style s/// operator instance. The Perl Shell will turn this into a line-by-line filter that performs the substitution on each line, and then prints the line. For example:
ls | s/a/b/

    Possibly... though I haven't been able to get into the perl shell... it just doesn't impress me so far...
