i'm converting an html file into straight text and reformatting it at
the same time. i have everything done but my carriage return problem. i
need a way to search for </n>carriage return and change into two spaces.
something like this:
sed 's/<\/n>\n/  /g'
which i know doesn't work but should give you a better idea of what i
need. thanks in advance,

1. sed - search, then search & replace on the result?

I'm using a bash script to parse various java source files, and need a
way to do a search and replace on certain lines (that need to match
certain criteria themselves) - a search, then a search and replace on
the results of the first search, if you will.

For example, working on a public method declaration, the parameters
(and related types) need to be on seperate lines:

public void doSomething(int x, int y, boolean maybe)

becomes:

int x
int y
boolean maybe

Currently, I'm working with sed, but 'standard' unix tools (excepting
perl, if at all possible) are available.

Any help would be greatly appreciated... thanks! :)
