I did: [thufir@arrakis click]$ [thufir@arrakis click]$ [thufir@arrakis click]$ [thufir@arrakis click]$ date Sun Jul 31 15:41:46 IST 2005 [thufir@arrakis click]$ pwd /home/thufir/click [thufir@arrakis click]$ ll total 24 -rw-rw-r-- 1 thufir thufir 5366 Jul 31 08:37 clicklist.txt -rw-rw-r-- 1 thufir thufir 5366 Jul 31 15:38 clicklist.txt.backup [thufir@arrakis click]$ sed 's|^http://\(.*\)/|<a href="\1">\1</a>|g; s|href="|href="http://|g' linklist.txt > clicklist.txt [thufir@arrakis click]$ about how long should this take? I gave the command 60 seconds and hit ctrl-c to cancel it. examining clicklist.txt shows no change. Aha, I might've provided faulty data. The links aren't all of the form http://www.foo.com/ but more like http://ipac3.vpl.ca/ipac20/ipac.jsp?uri=full=3100001~!1221436~!17&ri=42&aspect=basic_search&menu=search&source=~!horizon&profile=pac is that the problem? Thanks, Thufir
