Write a complete sed script called minor1.sed that will modify the companys letters in the following ways. Note that this letter is an example. Your program will be tested against several similar letters. Note that spacing may be different in each letter.

  1. Preprocessing:
    1. Change the area code of the phone number in the heading to 800.
    2. Remove the parentheses from each phone number.
    3. Add a dash between the area code and the rest of the phone number. (i.e.

789 123-4567 would become 789-123-4567)

    1. Change the zip+4 code in the heading from 4321 to 1234. The zip+4 is the last 4 digits of the zip code after the dash.
    2. Change Lois last name from Lane to Kent, since she became married.
    3. Change Lane in the addresses to Ln.
  1. Transposition (i.e., rearrange the order of individual characters):

a. Swap the area code and exchange for the phone number in the body of the letter.

  1. Substitution (i.e., replace characters by other characters):

a. Substitute # for @ to correct a type where @ were used instead of # and change ; to , to correct the typos in the addresses.

  1. Append extra data:

a. Append a p.s. clause after the signature (the end of the letter). It should read

p.s. your winnings must be claimed by February 29th.
