Really? I can't imagine I would have written something as fancy as that as
a shell script. For anything that involves loops and logic, I tend to
immediately switch to Perl.

You might want to look at replacing this:

sed 'script' file >file.xxxxx
mv file.xxxxx file

with this:

sed -i 'script' file

From "man sed":


-i[SUFFIX], --in-place[=SUFFIX]

edit files in place (makes backup if extension supplied)
