Hmm, let me think.  I'll use this as my example then I'll do the next one on
my own ... ;0)

I needed an extra ' after href=//

I'm presuming the -e bit just indicates "carry out the following" which
appears to be a reg exp substitution of what I didn't want with nothing
(//).  I'm assuming you can put as many -e's on a line as you want to.  I
was trying to pull out what I wanted rather than binning what I didn't want
and had got stuck.  Same result different method.  Cool thanks.
