How can I accomplish the following without using the pipes? I have this: -------------------------- 0x0128|Inch 0x829a|1/60 sec. 0x829d|f/3.5 0x9003|2005:08:19 12:08:36 0x9004|2005:08:19 12:08:36 --------------------------- I do this to it: ---------------------------- sed -n "/0x9003|/p" | sed -s "s/ *$//" | sed -s "s/0x9003|//g" | sed -s "s/:/./g" | sed -s "s/ /_/g" ---------------------------- I get this: -------------------- 2005.08.19_12.08.36 -------------------- It works, but kinda ugly. Is there a better way?
