thanks, Dan!
so.. a tempfile to work on with all tools within
a shell script - neat! i need to test this a bit..

i like using the arithmentic of ex (vi;vim), of course.
but how to tackle this "RE1...RE2...RE3" thing?
selecting a range like "/RE1/,/RE3/" is easy -
but how to ensure that "RE2" in between that?
anyone here with some knowledge on awk?
