Putting in newlines using sed

[Steve Harris]

Some time ago I tried to do just what you describe.
I eventually gave up, but was working on the idea of:

	save line in hold buffer
loop:	
	yank hold buffer
	delete everything after first "foo ([^)]*)", and print
	yank hold buffer
	delete first "foo ([^)]*)"
	save result in hold buffer
	test somehow whether or not you're done
	if not done, goto loop

I think it can be done, I just never saw it through.

good luck, please post your code if you succeed
(it should be pretty ugly!! :-)
