There are many ways to store things on a server, but all envolve writing
to files. What one language describes as an array another might describe
as a structure or list or something else. Your question about an array
has no general meaning given the data that follows.

What I *think* you *might* be trying to do is some kind of templating.
Forget sed. Use Perl or Python or Ruby templating facilities. Google
"perl template," "python template," etc.
