Random Geek Ranting Ahead

[kyburg]

So I get this off my EDI ML -

Edifecs now has a free standalone tool for creating and editing EDI data,
the Data Editor also allows one to search and replace data and
terminators/delimiters. The Data Editor can be downloaded from our website
by going to http://www.edifecs.com/solutions_downloads.jsp and selecting
"Data Editor Standalone (With De-Identification)".

Edifecs new release of SpecBuilder 5.2 Enterprise and HIPAA edition also
ships with the Data Editor.

Search and replace data and terminators/delimiters? Pay HOW much to do that?

Bah.

%s/whatever1/whatever2/g

Special characters, you add backslashes.

FREE.

Comes with every copy of the Unix operating system. vi is your friend.

Even if it does bend your brain backwards.

I'm cheap and plan to stay that way. What a maroon.
