[HECnet] Easiest way to do 'sed' type search and replace on VMS...

[Sampsa Laine]

Actually, it'd be useful to drop both the parenthesis (i.e. "(" and ")") so I can prepend the proper href for the "(", I am totally out of my depth here, could you tell me what to change in the EDITCMD.EDT

Hmmmm... Try this, is really a 100% VMS way of doing it:

Actually, it's a bit stupid to call SHOW KNOW NODES on EVERY invocation, it's not like the data changes all THAT often. So I'm going to build a little DCL script to do this say every day and then just list the output of that instead of doing SHOW KNOWN NODES...
