True enough, I was just too lazy to look up the specific 'find' command 
that was generating the temp file, and assumed that he was more 
interested in the actual sed/grep command that would be useful, rather 
than giving him the exact verbatim string that he should use to solve 
his problem. 

I'm all for stringing together as many pipes as is required to avoid 
creating an actual file.  But, when developing a sed command like this 
I'll often work with a temporary file just to speed up the runtime.

Nice sed command though, I couldn't get mine working ;)
